Data from: Worms and submersed macrophytes reduce methane release and increase nutrient removal in organic sediments

  • 1. University of Parma

Description

We investigated how the co-presence of macrophytes and macroinvertebrates in organic substrates lowers methane emissions and nutrient transport, due to radial oxygen loss and bioirrigation. Laboratory incubations were performed to measure ebullitive methane fluxes and dissolved gas and nutrient fluxes from sediments in presence of macrophytes and macrofauna.

Notes

Data are reported in .txt and include methane ebullitive rates and dissolved gas and nutrient fluxes in the four tested treatments during a 12-day experiment. There are no missing values and ebullitive methane fluxes are expressed in mmol CH4 m-2h-1, whereas fluxes of dissolved gas and nutrients are expressed in mmol m-2d-1.
