COSORE data contribution
Thanks for your interest in contributing to this community database of continuous soil respiration (and other chamber fluxes for CO2 and/or CH4, published or unpublished) data!

Please fill out the form below, as completely as you can. We've tried to make this form, and required metadata, as short as possible; more information can be found at https://github.com/bpbond/cosore#cosore.

I understand that contributed datasets will be made available under a CC-BY or similar license. This means that the COSORE database will be open without restriction to the science community; we strongly encourage database users to cite original publications and offer co-authorship, but it's not required. *
Required
I have all necessary authority and permissions (legal or otherwise) to provide these data to the COSORE database. *
Required
Once we've worked through the metadata below, we'll send you a custom data upload link. *
Required
COSORE is a community database, and will always be open...but it's not an institutionally-backed repository like Figshare, DataONE, ESS-DIVE, etc. We recommend (but do not require) depositing your data in one of these first, and providing its DOI below. NOTE: you can do this for free through services like https://figshare.com/ *

Plants removed from chambers? *
Opaque chambers? *
Mixing fan in chambers?
Clear selection
Chamber ground area (cm2)
Chamber volume (cm3)
Collar insertion depth (cm)
Multiplexer ports
Please indicate which, if any, of the chambers monitor a treatment (as opposed to an unmanipulated control). We'll get in touch to ask about treatment specifics.
Chamber/port treatments *
None
Treatment
Port (chamber) 1
Port (chamber) 2
Port (chamber) 3
Port (chamber) 4
Port (chamber) 5
Port (chamber) 6
Port (chamber) 7
Port (chamber) 8
If your port/treatment design is more complicated than what's above, we'll get in touch.
Chamber/ports all monitor the same species (from 'Site' section above)? *
Ancillary data
Ancillary can be measured in/next to each chamber (the first question below), or be general site characteristics (the second).
Ancillary data included
I have ancillary site data to contribute (LAI, NPP, etc)
Other things we should know about this dataset?
