Diurnal Soil Nitrous Oxide Emissions And Temperature Data From UK Literature

Environmental Information Data Centre provides a collated dataset from 46 published journal articles on soil nitrous oxide emissions in the UK from 1983 to 2019. It contains 286 diurnal N2O flux datasets and 160 diurnal soil temperature datasets. The data also includes non-diurnal parameters like soil pH, bulk density, and soil texture.

Use Cases

• Classify diurnal N2O flux patterns using the processed diurnal N2O flux data from 286 datasets.
• Analyze correlations between diurnal soil temperature and diurnal N2O flux across 160 temperature datasets.
• Model N2O emissions using non-diurnal factors such as soil pH, bulk density, and soil water-filled pore space.
• Investigate seasonal effects on emissions using the season of measurement data from the literature.

Strengths

• Data extracted from 46 peer-reviewed journal articles, ensuring a literature-based foundation.
• Includes 286 diurnal N2O flux datasets and 160 diurnal soil temperature datasets for analysis.
• Covers a 36-year temporal range from 1983 to 2019 for UK soil emissions.

Limitations

• Sample size is limited to literature findings; lacks continuous, field-collected time series.
• Data heterogeneity from multiple source studies may introduce methodological inconsistencies.
• Geographic scope is restricted to the United Kingdom, limiting global applicability.
