The dataset contains water chemistry measurements from a controlled mesocosm experiment investigating the effects of re-wetting on previously drained agricultural peatlands. It includes a CSV file with the experimental data, an R script for reproducing analyses and figures, and a README file with a data dictionary describing the sampling methodology. The data supports research on nutrient and contaminant dynamics in managed wetland ecosystems.
Use Cases
- Analyzing changes in nutrient concentrations following peatland re-wetting.
- Modeling contaminant export dynamics from drained agricultural landscapes.
- Reproducing statistical analyses and visualizations using the provided R code.
- Benchmarking water quality parameters in controlled restoration experiments.
Strengths
- Includes reproducible analysis code (R script) for all figures and results.
- Documented with a detailed data dictionary explaining the sampling methodology and variables.
- Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for open reuse.
Limitations
- Column names and row count are not specified in the available metadata.
- The dataset is derived from a controlled mesocosm experiment, which may not fully represent field-scale dynamics.
