Datasets-A globally robust relationship between water table decline, subsidence rate and carbon release from peatlands

Supplementary Data A shows meta-data for in-situ and laboratory measurements of soil respiration or its components soil heterotrophic respiration and autotrophic respiration, as well as associated environmental variables from global pristine peatlands and water table decline peatlands, respectively.

Supplementary Data B shows the relationships between peatland subsidence rates and drainage years for different land uses in different climate zones, relationships between proportion of peatland subsidence rates due to oxidation and drainage years for different land uses in different climate zones, the estimated peat subsidence rates and peat subsidence rates due to oxidation, the synthesized soil organic carbon content and soil bulk density at the layer of 0-30 cm from pristine peatlands, and the in-situ measured annual soil heterotrophic respiration rates for validating the robustness of the developed emipirical models of this study.
