Research data supporting the publication "Global atmospheric methane uptake by upland tree woody surfaces"

The dataset contains 6 different variables: Location: place where stem fluxes were measured (i.e. Cuniã in Brazil, Gigante in Panama, MOYA in Brazil, Skogaryd in Sweden and Wytham in the United Kingdom. Species: tree species identity where each measurement was performed. "Multiple species" is assigned to Cuniã and MOYA, since species identity was not recorded.

Plot_no: For certain locations, trees were distributed in different plots or areas Height: stem height where each chamber measurement was performed, measured from the ground. Units: meters Tree_no: unique identifier of measured trees Stem_flux: methane flux from tree stems measured with portable greenhouse gas analysers using closet chambers. Units: µg CH4 m-2 hr-1
