Soil Incubation, Methane Pool Dilution, Edgewater, MD, USA, July 2022 v1.0.1

Isotopic pool dilution is a powerful approach to quantify gross biogeochemical transformation rates, but remains seldom used despite its potential. To facilitate broader implementation of pool dilution methods, we developed a user-friendly R package that optimizes gross production and consumption rates (and optionally fractionation constants as well) based on standard pool dilution time series data. This data package is the soil methane pool dilution data and code for building and using this software, including source code (R) and raw data (.csv). This package features extensive documentation and example analyses, and is easily integrated into analytical pipelines as R software is free and open source. Operation of this package requires R version 2.10 or newer, and we recommend its use in conjunction with packages testthat (3.0.0), knitr, rmarkdown, ggploto2, tibble, and tidyr.

同位素池稀释法（Isotopic pool dilution）是一种用于量化总生物地球化学转化速率的高效手段，尽管其应用潜力可观，但目前仍较少得到使用。为推动池稀释法的更广泛应用，我们开发了一款用户友好型R软件包，可基于标准池稀释时间序列数据，对总产生速率与总消耗速率（亦可选择性计算分馏常数）进行优化。本数据包包含用于构建与使用该软件的土壤甲烷池稀释相关数据及代码，其中涵盖R语言源代码与.csv格式原始数据。该软件包配备了详尽的文档与示例分析流程，且因R语言为免费开源软件，可轻松集成至各类分析流水线中。使用该软件包需依赖R 2.10及以上版本，我们推荐其与testthat（3.0.0）、knitr、rmarkdown、ggploto2、tibble及tidyr等软件包协同使用。
