Diurnal patterns of methane flux from a depressional, seasonal wetland

Data on diurnal variation in wetland methane flux were collected to 1) improve understanding of short-term, mechanistic drivers of methane flux, and 2) inform sampling protocols to achieve research objectives. An automated gas flux sampling system was used to measure methane flux every 2.5-4 hours for over 230 diel cycles over the course of three growing seasons (2013-2015). Data were collected from a seasonal, depressional wetland located in the Prairie Pothole Region of central North America. These data directly support the associated publication ″Diurnal patterns of methane flux from a depressional, seasonal wetland: mechanisms and methodology″ which is referenced within the Metadata.

本数据集收录了湿地甲烷通量的日变化观测数据，旨在达成两大核心目标：其一，深化对甲烷通量短期机制性驱动因子的认知；其二，为达成既定研究目标的采样方案提供科学参考依据。
研究采用自动化气体通量采样系统，在2013至2015年三个生长季内，对超过230个昼夜周期开展每2.5-4小时一次的甲烷通量监测。
数据采集点位位于北美中部草原坑洼区域（Prairie Pothole Region）的一处季节性凹陷湿地。
本数据集直接支撑关联学术论文《季节性凹陷湿地甲烷通量日变化模式：机制与方法》，该论文已在元数据（Metadata）中被标注引用。
