Title: SPRUCE Small Differences in Ombrotrophy Control Regional-Scale Variation in Methane Cycling among Sphagnum-Dominated Peatlands: Supporting Data

Abstract

These data are provided in support of the SPRUCE publication: Small Differences in Ombrotrophy Control Regional-Scale Variation in Methane Cycling among Sphagnum-Dominated Peatlands (Zalman et al., 2018) Reports the examination of the mechanisms controlling C cycling rates and greenhouse gas emissions using a combination of biogeochemical and microbial approaches in three low pH, Sphagnum-dominated peatlands in northern Minnesota. In particular, we investigated biogeochemical parameters (CH4 and CO2 production potentials, porewater and gas CH4 and CO2 concentrations and associated isotopic signatures), soil chemistry (organic acids and phenolics), and microbial community characteristics (quantification of methanogen and methanotroph abundance and activity) over a 1-year period in these three peatlands. The objective of this intensive study was to analyze biogeochemical and microbial characteristics of three outwardly similar low pH, Sphagnum-dominated peatlands to determine key characteristics that could explain differences in anaerobic C cycling and net CH4 flux despite their close geographical proximity and similar soil pH and plant communities. The supporting data provided include the measurement data for samples from the Minnesota locations, site characteristics, and the summarized and aggregated data used to generate the figures in the main text of the paper and the supplementary data figures for the Minnesota locations.
