Data for the article "Species specific effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide emissions in hemiboreal cereal production: the importance of freeze-thaw driven emissions"

Thsi dataset corresponds to the article 'Species specific effects of cover crops on nitrous oxide emissions in hemiboreal cereal production: the importance of freeze-thaw driven emissions' authored by Sigrid Trier Kjær, Rong Lang, Thomas Kätterer and Peter Dörsch. The study measured N₂O emissions in barley production using seven different cover crops over two years. Weekly N₂O emission rates were measured during the cropping season with manual chambers, while off-season measurements were conducted more frequently using a Field Flux Robot. Additionally, soil carbon accrual was modeled based on biomass production to calculate species-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) balances. Additional soil parameters (nitrate, ammonium, temperature and moisture) were also measured.
