Vineyard Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Carbon Balance Under Organic Mulches, 2021-2023

Weekly field measurements of CH4 and N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard in La Rioja, Spain, over three growing seasons (2021–2023). The data, collected by Estíbaliz Rodrigo using FTIR technology and static chamber methods, compares emissions from straw, grape pruning debris, and spent mushroom compost mulches. Results show grape pruning debris acted as a methane sink with mean fluxes of -3.62 mg m−2 day−1, while global warming potential decreased from 116.1 to 34.3 g CO2-eq m−2 day−1 over the study period.

Use Cases

• Compare the global warming potential of different organic mulches based on reported CH4 and N2O flux measurements.
• Model carbon balance in agricultural systems based on net primary productivity, soil respiration, and direct GHG emissions data.
• Assess the long-term mitigation effect of mulch treatments on GHG emissions based on three-year trends.
• Evaluate life cycle analysis inputs for vineyard carbon footprint calculations based on reported emissions and operational data.

Strengths

• Contains specific flux measurements, such as CH4 emissions up to 13.7 mg m−2 day−1 for straw and a mean sink of -3.62 mg m−2 day−1 for grape pruning debris.
• Covers three consecutive growing seasons (2021–2023), allowing for analysis of temporal trends.
• Includes calculated global warming potential values, showing a decrease from 116.1 to 34.3 g CO2-eq m−2 day−1.
• Reports carbon balance estimations incorporating multiple factors like net primary productivity and soil heterotrophic respiration.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is specific to a single vineyard in La Rioja, Spain, which may limit geographic generalizability.
