Samantha Bennett led a publication on greenhouse gas emissions from dung pats of different sizes and shapes. The dataset supports this work, which investigates the effects of dung pat shape and mass on emissions in the presence of dung beetles. It was authored by Paul Manning and is hosted by Borealis Harvested Dataverse.
Use Cases
- Modeling greenhouse gas flux based on dung pat physical characteristics.
- Analyzing the impact of dung beetle activity on emission rates.
- Comparing emission profiles from different dung pat shapes and masses.
Strengths
- Supports a specific, peer-reviewed publication led by Samantha Bennett.
- Explicitly investigates the interaction of multiple experimental factors: shape, mass, and beetle presence.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
- Source
- Borealis Harvested Dataverse
