Peatland Stream Water Chemistry from Hare Moss, Scotland 2022-2023

Scotland's Hare Moss peatland streams provide bi-weekly water chemistry data for 2022 and 2023, including dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total dissolved nitrogen (TdN), and greenhouse gases. The dataset was collected by the MERLIN project to establish a pre-restoration environmental baseline. Row and column counts are unspecified.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) to track peatland dissolved organic matter dynamics.
• Model relationships between nutrient concentrations like total phosphorus (TP) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) against absorbance at 254nm (Abs 254).
• Correlate dissolved greenhouse gas concentrations (CH4, CO2, N2O) with total dissolved nitrogen (TdN) and particulate organic carbon (POC) levels.
• Establish baseline statistical distributions for all measured chemistry parameters before planned peatland restoration activities.

Strengths

• Data covers a full two-year baseline period (2022-2023) for environmental assessment.
• Includes multiple analytically derived water chemistry parameters, such as DOC, TdN, POC, TP, SRP, and dissolved gases.
• Sampling was conducted bi-weekly, providing a regular temporal resolution for time-series analysis.

Limitations

• Dataset has been withdrawn, indicating potential data quality issues or access restrictions.
• Sample size (row count) and specific feature count (columns) are unknown, limiting assessment of analytical scope.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single peatland site (Hare Moss) near Penicuik, Scotland.
