Comparing Groundwater Sampling Devices for Denitrification Assessment using the N2/Ar Method

The dataset comprises analysis results (major ions, N2, and Ar concentrations) from groundwater samples taken in the Lower Rhine Embayment (Germany) to assess the impact of sampling methods on N2, Ar, and excess-N2 concentrations.
The data is used in the manuscript "Comparing Groundwater Sampling Devices for Denitrification Assessment using the N2/Ar Method" by Felix Fahrenbach and Thomas R. Rüde, published in Groundwater.

The libraries tidyverse (Wickham et al. 2019), psych (Revelle 2014), car (Fox and Weisberg 2019), rstatix (Kassambara 2023), and PMCMRplus (Pohlert 2024) need to be installed to run the R scripts. Running the Python scripts requires the following packages: numpy (Harris et al. 2020), pandas (McKinney 2010), scipy (Virtanen et al. 2020), statsmodels (Seabold and Perktold 2010), and matplotlib (Hunter 2007).
