Methane production & oxidation rates in lakes and reservoirs

Here, we present a dataset of methane (CH₄) production &amp; oxidation rates measured in peer-reviewed studies of lakes and reservoirs. The dataset includes rates of sediment CH₄ production, sediment CH₄ oxidation, and/or water column CH₄ oxidation rates measured with a commonly methodology (incubations) in 107 different lakes and reservoirs (n=77 studies). For each rate measurement, information on lake location, latitude, trophic status, incubation method, and incubation temperature are included. <br>The ch4_processing_data.xls spreadsheet contains the data from each study, whereas ch4_processing_refs.xls contains a list of full citations for each study.<br>This dataset is associated with its companion manuscript, 'Methanogenesis exceeds CH₄ consumption in eutrophic lake sediments', published to the journal <i>Limnology &amp; Oceanography Letters</i>. The Metadata-LO-Letters.pdf contains metadata for both spreadsheets in the required <i>Limnology &amp; Oceanography Letters</i> template.<br><br>
