Pathway-dependent methane emission from a rice paddy

The dataset consists of CH4 flux measured by a mobile gas analyzer at three growth stages (PF: panicle formation; BT: booting; HD: heading) in a Japanese rice paddy ("flux" tab) and air temperature (2m above ground) observed at a weather station near the field ("temp" tab). Total flux was divided into two major pathways: plant-mediated flux and bubbling flux ("Plants" and "Bubbling", respectively, in the "Pathway" column in the "flux" tab). Refer to Kajiura and Tokida (2021, 2022) (DOI: 10.2480/agrmet.D-21-00022, 10.2480/agrmet.D-21-00033) for the method to quantify the pathway-dependent emission separately. Air temperature in the "flux" tab shows that of the starting point of the measurement of CH4 flux at each plot.
