Six months of nitrous oxide flux measurements from March 2012, collected from the Whim peatbog in central Scotland. The data originates from a long-term nitrogen deposition experiment started in 2002, applying ammonium, nitrate, and ammonia at doses up to ~100 kg N per hectare per year. This work was supported by the UK Natural Environment Research Council as part of the UK-SCAPE programme.
Use Cases
- Modeling the relationship between nitrogen dose and nitrous oxide flux based on the described experimental treatments.
- Analyzing the impact of different nitrogen forms (ammonium, nitrate, ammonia) on peatland greenhouse gas emissions.
- Studying long-term environmental change by linking this 2012 data to the experiment's start in 2002.
- Calibrating biogeochemical models for peatland ecosystems using measured chamber flux data.
Strengths
- Data is part of a long-term experiment running since 2002, providing temporal context.
- Flux measurements cover a six-month period starting March 2012.
- Experimental design includes multiple nitrogen forms and a dose range up to ~100 kg N per hectare per year.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single site in central Scotland.
