Greenhouse Gas Flux from Cattle Dung with Introduced Dung Beetles

Research data supporting a study on the impact of introduced dung beetles on methane emissions from cattle dung. The dataset, published by Jean Holley on figshare, includes CSV files totaling 86.2 KB. It was last updated on May 24, 2026, and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Modeling methane flux reduction based on dung beetle activity.
• Analyzing temporal dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions from cattle dung.
• Comparing greenhouse gas flux between dung pats with and without beetle intervention.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Associated R Studio code is referenced in the paper's supplementary materials.
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-05-24).

Limitations

• Dataset size is only 86.2 KB, indicating a very limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
