571 Data rows



Explanation of variables:
Date: Dates in month/day/year
Month: Month of sampling
Stream: Stream ID from 1-9
Site: Location within stream, each stream has four locations (Upstream or Up, Clearcut or CC, 50m downstream or 50down and 100m downstream or 100down)
Buffer_group: The buffer width, divided into two groups (Wide or Thin)
GPP_or_CR_µg_O[2]_cm-2_h-1: GPP or CR in the incubations, in microgram O2 per surface area (cm2) and hr 
GPP or ER .50: The modelled daily GPP or ER in g O per m-2 
GPP or ER .2.5: The error around the modelled GPP and ER. 2.5 is the lower 2.5% percentile in the model. So the lower error bar in figure 4
GPP or ER .97.5: The error around the modelled GPP and ER. 2.5 is the upper 97.5% percentile in the model. So the upper error bar in figure 4
