Data from a study quantifying the effects of manure and artificial fertilizer on greenhouse gas dynamics from agricultural drainage ditch sediments under oxic and anoxic conditions. The dataset includes measurements of methane and nitrous oxide production rates, as well as aerobic methane oxidation rates, across different fertilizer doses. It was authored by Q. Struik and last updated on 2026-06-02.
Use Cases
- Modeling the impact of manure application on methane emissions based on reported 3-fold to 16-fold increases in production rates.
- Comparing greenhouse gas production under oxic versus anoxic conditions based on the described experimental setup.
- Analyzing the inhibitory effect of artificial fertilizer on methane and nitrous oxide production mentioned in the description.
- Studying the relationship between ammonium concentration and aerobic methane oxidation rates as described.
Strengths
- Reports specific quantitative measurements, such as methane production rates ranging from 18.4 to 61.7 µmol CH4 gDW-1 d-1.
- Describes clear experimental comparisons between manure and artificial fertilizer effects, and between oxic and anoxic conditions.
- Includes a direct comparison of GHG emissions in CO2-equivalents, showing a 3.5 to 5.5 times increase with high manure inputs.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
