Change in soil N2O emissions from irrigation — Resource Gradient Experiment

Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use

Soil greenhouse gases were measured using automated chambers at the RGE in rainfed and irrigated plots simultaneously in 2013, a wheat year. We use only N2O here as CO2 is better measured using eddy flux towers and the CH4 data did not show a significant irrigation effect. N2O concentration was measured four times a day per chamber. These data give a mean concentration per day per chamber. They span May – Sep 2013. Also includes daily precipitation, mean air temperature, lime treatment, and daily irrigation amount.

This datatable is part of the Data for McGill et.al. 2018. The greenhouse gas cost of agricultural intensification with groundwater irrigation in a Midwest US row cropping system. dataset.
