BOREAS Peatland Greenhouse Gas Flux Data from a 1994 Factorial Experiment

June to September 1994 data from the BOREAS TF-11 team measuring methane and carbon dioxide fluxes at the SSA-Fen site. Measurements were part of a 2x2 factorial experiment with carbon and nitrogen additions across four replicate locations. The dataset includes environmental variables like air temperature and water table height.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of carbon and nitrogen fertilization on wetland CH4 and CO2 emissions.
• Analyzing correlations between gas fluxes, air temperature, and water table depth.
• Validating remote sensing or process-based models for boreal ecosystem carbon cycling.
• Studying spatial and temporal variability of greenhouse gases in a fen environment.

Strengths

• Data originates from a controlled 2x2 factorial experiment with four replicates, providing a structured basis for causal inference.
• Covers a specific growing season from June to September 1994 with concurrent environmental measurements.

Limitations

• Exact row count, column names, and file size are not provided by any source.
• Sources conflict on the last updated date: one states 1994-09-15, while others state 2026-03-13.
