Greenhouse gas flux data for peatlands in Northwest Territories and Northern Alberta, 2021

Closed-chamber greenhouse gas fluxes (methane, CH4; carbon dioxide, CO2) were measured in July and August of 2021 from peatland subsites (peat plateaus, bogs, and fens) at the research sites Lutose (AB), Scotty Creek (NWT), and Smith Creek (NWT). All CO2 fluxes are calculated as the change in concentration in the closed chamber over a 3-minute period. All CH4 fluxes are calculated as the change in concentration in the closed chamber over a 20-minute period. Dataset parameters include measurement date, study site, subsite, collar (plot) number, light/dark measurement status, air temperature, gross primary productivity, ecosystem respiration, net ecosystem exchange, and methane flux.
