Biogeochemical distinctiveness of peatland ponds, thermokarst waterbodies and lakes

This archive entry contains the original dataset used in the manuscript "Biogeochemical distinctiveness of peatland ponds, thermokarst waterbodies and lakes" as a CSV file (Arsenault-et-al_All.csv). The dataset is a global synthesis of the biogeochemical properties of lakes, peatland ponds and thermokarst waterbodies. It comprises a total of 12,475 observations (11,357 lakes worldwide, 827 thermokarst waterbodies from the Arctic circumpolar and the Himalaya regions and 291 peatland ponds from North America, Europe and Patagonia, from published and unpublished sources). The entry also includes subsets of the main dataset used to performed statistical analyses to compare and distinguish the biogeochemical properties of lakes, peatland ponds and thermokarst waterbodies (see file Tables_Statistical-analyses.pdf for details).

The archive entry also contains the list of references from which we built the dataset, as a TXT file.
