Winter Wheat Greenhouse Gas Fluxes Under Fertilizer Treatments, UK 2022

Environmental Information Data Centre provides 2-hourly observations of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane fluxes from a winter wheat crop. Measurements were taken over an 83-day period in 2022 using automated GHG flux chambers on plots treated with inorganic fertilizer and pig slurry variants.

Use Cases

• Compare CO2, N2O, and CH4 flux magnitudes across inorganic fertiliser and pig slurry treatments.
• Analyze diurnal and seasonal flux patterns from 2-hourly observations over the 83-day measurement period.
• Model relationships between biogenic greenhouse gas emissions and specific fertiliser applications like plasma-treated pig slurry.

Strengths

• High-frequency 2-hourly flux measurements capture diurnal cycles.
• Data covers an 83-day continuous period during the winter wheat growing season.
• Includes three distinct fertiliser treatments for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Data is from a single site and year, limiting generalizability.
• Unknown sample size and row count prevent assessment of statistical power.
• Geographic scope is restricted to one mineral soil location in the UK.
