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

Data included in this file contains methane fluxes from tree stems which is the main data from Gauci et al 2024 published at Nature. 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
