Data are extracted from the paper by S. A. Pickering and B.D. Batts, 'Patterns of Mono- and Difunctional Carboxylic Acids in Hydrothermal Leachates of Soil and Peat Humates: Geological and Environmental Implications', Org. Geochem. J., 18, 683-693, (1992). Samples were collected by J. Selkirk and Z. Fathoni from the Green Gorge at 54o37'S 158o37'10"E. The samples were freeze dried and hydrous pyrolysed at a range of temperatures (95, 120, 200 and 300 oC). The samples were analysed principally by Size Exclusion Chromatography. The fields in this dataset are: Monocarboxylic Acids Dicarboxylic Acids Saturated Unsaturated Temperature
