Data from: Warming alters food web-driven changes in the CO2 flux of experimental pond ecosystems

However, a 3°C increase in water temperatures counteracted positive effects of predators and nutrients, leading to reduced primary producer biomass and a switch from CO2 influx to efflux. This confounding effect of temperature demonstrates that climate scenarios must be accounted for when undertaking ecosystem management actions to increase biosequestration.

Usage notes

Effects of temperature, nutrients and predators on CO2 fluxes and communities in pond mesocosms This data represents the independent and combined effects of increased temperatures (3 C), nutrient additions, and addition of predators (Three-Spined Stickelback) to carbon dioxide fluxes, primary producers biomass (periphyton + phytoplankton) and consumer biomass in pond mesocosms. Responses were measure after 12 and 16 months from initiation of perturbations.

Study took place at the University of British Columbia's (Vancouver, Canada) experimental pond facility in 2010. Pond data.csv
