A synthesis of ecosystem metabolism of China’s major rivers and coastal zones (2000-2020)

Ecosystem metabolism is a vital measurement for understanding the dynamics of aquatic environments. For this dataset, we compiled articles with metabolism data for China’s major rivers and coastal zones from 2000-2020. We identified 127 studies documenting ecosystem metabolism functions including primary production (PP), community respiration (CR) and net ecosystem production (NEP).

生态系统代谢（Ecosystem metabolism）是解析水生环境动态变化的关键表征指标。本数据集汇编了2000年至2020年间，包含我国主要河流与近岸海域生态系统代谢数据的相关文献。经筛选，共纳入127项记录了生态系统代谢功能相关数据的研究，涵盖初级生产（Primary Production, PP）、群落呼吸（Community Respiration, CR）以及净生态系统生产（Net Ecosystem Production, NEP）三类核心指标。
