Soil gas concentration and flux data from two peatland forest harvesting experiments in Southern Finland

<p>The dataset contains data analyzed in a scientific manuscript Peltoniemi et al.,&nbsp;<em>Soil CO₂, CH₄&nbsp;and N₂O concentrations and fluxes in peatland forests are associated with water table level - implications of selection harvesting on soil emissions</em>, in review.</p> <p>The data was collected from two peatland forests.&nbsp;The sites Lettosuo (60.63&deg; N, 23.95&deg; E&nbsp;) and Paroninkorpi (61.01&deg;N, 24.75&deg;E) locate&nbsp;in southern Finland, and they are fertile drained spruce mires. Both sites have unharvested control and selection harvested treatments.</p> <p>The dataset contains&nbsp;CO₂, CH₄, N₂O and O₂&nbsp;concentrations analyzed by gas chromatograph from soil gas samples collected with silicon rubber tubes inserted into soil at different depths&nbsp;over the year 2018-2020.&nbsp;The dataset additionally contains soil gas flux measurements in 2020 with a portable gas analyzer. Air temperature and water table level were measured at both sites, rainfall in nearby meteorological stations, and soil redox potential at one of the sites (Paroninkorpi).</p> <p>More information about the research sites and data is available in the manuscript, and Laurila et al., 2020 (<a href="http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-380-191-2">http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-380-191-2</a>).</p>
