CO2 fluxes from three different temperate grazed pastures using Eddy covariance measurements

This dataset contains gap-filled carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes, non gap-filled methane (CH4) fluxes, and all wind, meteorological and QC variables from three different pastures to produce 30-min mean flux rates of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) for 2017-2019. The pastures were part of the North Wyke Farm Platform, and differed in the species they contained; each were grazed by cattle and sheep. Raw data, collected by eddy covariance and other instrumentation, included CO2, photosynthetic active radiation, incoming and reflected radiation, humidity and air temperature, soil heat exchange, soil moisture and temperature, and precipitation. These data were processed by gap-filling where necessary, using external data sources.

The raw data are available elsewhere (http://resources.rothamsted.ac.uk/farmplatform). A full description of methods, and summary information for the years 2017 and 2018, can be found in the manuscript https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154819. The code used to process the raw data (written in R) is available at https://rpubs.com/North_Wyke_Farm_Platform/970790.
