Greenhouse gas emissions data from controlled peat mesocosm experiments conducted between February 2023 and December 2025. Researchers at the University of Cambridge collected drained peat soils from three sites in the East Anglian Fens, UK. The data includes CO₂ and CH₄ emissions and pore fluid concentrations from short-term (~50 day) and long-term (~5 month) experiments under manipulated water table levels.
Use Cases
- Model greenhouse gas flux responses to water table manipulation based on experimental treatment data
- Assess the impact of peatland rewetting on CO₂ and CH₄ emissions based on the long-term experiment data
- Compare short-term and long-term emission dynamics from drained peat soils based on the described experimental phases
Strengths
- Data from controlled laboratory mesocosm experiments, which suggests controlled conditions
- Experiments span a defined period from February 2023 to December 2025
- Includes data from three distinct collection sites in the East Anglian Fens
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
