Methane and Carbon Dioxide Transport in Agricultural Subsoil Following Pulse Injection

Data from a field experiment comprise methane and carbon dioxide concentrations in soil following injection of discrete methane pulses into subsoil at 50 cm depth below a spring wheat crop. Supporting data on soil moisture, soil temperature, and meteorology are provided for testing gas transport models in temperate agricultural soils.

Use Cases

• Model methane and carbon dioxide transport and fate in soil using concentration data following discrete pulse injections.
• Analyze correlations between soil moisture, soil temperature, and subsurface methane concentration dynamics.
• Test hypotheses on gas migration in agricultural subsoil using data collected during a spring wheat growing season.

Strengths

• Includes supporting environmental variables like soil moisture, soil temperature, and meteorology.
• Data focus on a controlled field experiment with methane injection at a specific 50 cm depth.
• Managed and provided by the Environmental Information Data Centre.

Limitations

• Dataset scale, row count, and column specifics are unknown from the provided input.
• Limited to a single experimental setting (temperate agricultural soil, spring wheat crop), reducing generalizability.
• Temporal coverage of the experiment is not specified.
