SPRUCE Does dissolved organic matter or solid peat fuel anerobic respiration in peatlands?: Supporting Data

Hopple et al. (2019) investigated whether, as a primary substrate – dissolved organic matter (DOM) or solid peat – was driving anaerobic respiration at surface and at deep depth increments within two bogs and a poor fen in northern Minnesota. To address this question, they used a combination of soil laboratory incubations, as well as in-situ analyses of porewater dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and specific UV absorbance (SUVA) measurements. Soil samples were collected in June 2013 and July 2014, while porewater samples were taken in July 2013. Data provided include: porewater DOC concentration and SUVA values, soil CH4 and CO2 potential production rates from peat samples exposed to varying DOM concentrations, and soil CH4 and CO2 potential production rates.These data are provided in support of the publication: Does dissolved organic matter or solid peat fuel anerobic respiration in peatlands?
