  • The data were collected in the municipalities of São Carlos, Itirapina, and Brotas in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. Six sandy/rocky-bottom headwater streams (1st to 2nd order) were selected based on the main land use in the catchment. Three streams drained sugarcane plantations, and three streams drained native vegetation catchments (Cerrado vegetation). The catchment drainage areas were determined using digital elevation models. Land use was classified based on satellite images from LANDSAT using ArcGIS software.

    The data were collected to study the impact of different land uses (sugarcane plantations vs. native vegetation) on the headwater streams. These streams have previously been studied for methane dynamics, indicating a focus on understanding environmental and ecological impacts. Three samples were collected from each stream during spring, summer, and winter using the headspace extraction technique. Due to access issues, samples from one stream were not collected in spring and summer 2018. Syringes filled with ultrapure nitrogen were used to collect stream water samples, which were then shaken to equilibrate gases. The gas was analyzed using a Shimadzu GC-2014 gas chromatograph equipped with various detectors. Concentrations were compared with standards to calculate CO2 levels, and CO2 emissions were calculated based on gas transfer velocity and dissolved concentrations.
