BOREAS Methane Flux and Soil Concentration Data from 1994

May 29 to September 17, 1994, measurements of methane flux and soil profile methane concentrations from the SSA-OA site in Prince Albert National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada. The data were collected by the BOREAS TE-01 team using chamber techniques and flask sampling to characterize soil-plant systems and relate soil properties to methane emissions. This dataset is part of the BOREAS project, focused on nutrient biochemistry and organic carbon transfers in the boreal forest.

Use Cases

• Analyzing relationships between soil physical/chemical characteristics and methane production/uptake rates.
• Modeling seasonal patterns of methane flux in a boreal forest landscape.
• Studying carbon storage and transfer dynamics within soil-plant systems.

Strengths

• Provides temporally specific data collected over a defined field season from May to September 1994.
• Focuses on a key boreal forest site (SSA-OA) within a major ecological research project (BOREAS).
• Employs established chamber and flask sampling methodologies for gas measurement.

Limitations

• Exact row count, column names, and dataset size are unknown across all sources.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date (1994-09 17 vs. 2026-03-13), suggesting potential metadata inconsistency.
• License is ambiguously specified as 'other-license-specified' or 'None', requiring further verification.
