Supporting raw data of the paper Hergoualc'h et al. (2026) How does nitrogen application impact soil respiration and CH4 emissions? An experiment in an oil palm plantation fertilization trial on peat.

Spatio-temporal replicate measurements published in Hergoualc’h et al. (2026), How does nitrogen application impact soil respiration and CH₄ emissions? An experiment in an oil palm plantation fertilization trial on peat. The data were collected in Arang-Arang, Jambi District, Sumatra, Indonesia, to examine the effects of different fertilization doses and application locations on the spatio-temporal variability of total soil respiration, CH₄ fluxes, and associated environmental parameters. The supporting information comprises four databases. The first database (DB GHG) contains greenhouse gas data collected intensively over 37 days following fertilization events in October 2012 and April 2023, as well as monthly measurements from October 2012 to September 2013 at each collar and chamber. The second database (DB Nmin) includes soil mineral nitrogen data collected during periods without fertilization in February and April 2016. The third database (DB WFPS) presents monthly measurements of soil water-filled pore space (%) in the top 10 cm of soil. The fourth database (DB WT) provides monthly measurements of soil water table depth (−cm), except for December 2012, when data were not collected.
