However, the extent to which warming affects and drives the absorption of CH at different stages of the F-T cycle in cold alpine ecosystems is still unclear, and alpine ecosystems have been found to be net sinks of atmospheric CH. This dataset represents the daily CH absorption of the alpine grassland ecosystem on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau for the whole year after 5 years of warming experiments, including control, low-level warming treatment (5 cm soil depth+2.4 ℃), and high-level warming treatment (5 cm soil depth+4.5 ℃).
