Study Site: Eastern Canada
Purpose: Peatland pools are freshwater bodies that are highly dynamic aquatic ecosystems because of their small size and their development in organic-rich sediments. However, our ability to understand and predict their contribution to both local and global biogeochemical cycles under rapidly occurring environmental change is limited because the spatiotemporal drivers of their biogeochemical patterns and processes are poorly understood. We used (1) pool biogeochemical data from 20 peatlands in eastern Canada, the United Kingdom, and southern Patagonia and (2) multi-year data from an undisturbed peatland of eastern Canada, to determine how climate and terrain features drive the production, delivering and processing of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in peatland pools.
Abstract: This archive entry contains the original datasets used in the article "Climate-driven spatial and temporal patterns in peatland pool biogeochemistry" as CSV files. The Global_dataset.csv file is a synthesis of the morphological, biogeochemical and climate properties of peatland pools from eastern Canada, southern Patagonia, and the United Kingdom and comprises a total of 240 observations. The GPB_full_dataset.csv file includes the morphological and biogeochemical properties of nine pools of a peatland of eastern Canada that have been sampled regularly over the 2016 to 2021 summers. The GPB_aggregated_dataset.csv file shows the average pool biogeochemical and climate properties of the same peatland of eastern Canada, for 50-day windows between day of year 150 to 300. Statistical analyses shown in the "Climate-driven spatial and temporal patterns in peatland pool biogeochemistry" article are based on the GPB_aggregated_dataset.csv dataset.
