Full data from a study investigating how three submerged macrophyte species affect methane dynamics in agricultural ditches. The dataset includes quantified methane oxidation and production potentials in roots and shoots, as well as diffusive and ebullitive emission measurements. It was authored by Q. Struik and last updated on June 2, 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling seasonal methane flux based on macrophyte biomass and oxidation potential data.
- Analyzing the impact of dredging timing on net methane emissions from agricultural ditches.
- Comparing methane oxidation rates across different macrophyte species mentioned in the study.
Strengths
- Includes specific oxidation potential ranges (0.33 to 15.1 μmol CH4 gWetWeight−1h−1 for roots).
- Provides seasonal estimates of methane oxidation efficiency (up to 97% at season start).
- Compares data for three distinct macrophyte species (Elodea nuttallii, Stuckenia pectinata, Ceratophyllum demersum).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
