Methane production & oxidation rates in lakes and reservoirs

Here, we present a dataset of methane (CH₄) production & oxidation rates measured in peer-reviewed studies of lakes and reservoirs. The dataset includes rates of sediment CH₄ production, sediment CH₄ oxidation, and/or water column CH₄ oxidation rates measured with a commonly methodology (incubations) in 107 different lakes and reservoirs (n=77 studies). For each rate measurement, information on lake location, latitude, trophic status, incubation method, and incubation temperature are included.
