Methanogen and Methanotroph Communities in Tropical Andean Mountain Peatlands

Two spreadsheets contain microbial and environmental data from a study on tropical Andean mountain peatlands. The data includes ASV reads with taxonomic and functional information, and associated environmental variables. The dataset is 230.3 KB in size and was authored by Angela Lafuente.

Use Cases

• Analyze microbial community composition based on ASV taxonomic information.
• Correlate microbial functional groups with environmental variables.
• Model methane production and consumption drivers in peatland ecosystems.
• Compare methanogen and methanotroph diversity across different peatland depths.

Strengths

• Dataset includes both microbial sequence data (ASVs) and environmental measurements.
• Separate metadata spreadsheet describes all variables and units.
• File size is 230.3 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific Andean peatlands studied.
