Title

Soil profile descriptions from narrow diameter cores in UK saltmarshes collected between 2018 and 2021

Abstract

The dataset details the soil profiles described from the narrow diameter cores collected from 474 sampling sites across UK saltmarshes collected between 2018 - 2021. The work was carried out under the NERC programme - Carbon Storage in Intertidal Environment (C-SIDE), NERC grant reference NE/R010846/1 Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/55760544-b0a6-4845-a2e0-1cf533996c64

Lineage

Across UK saltmarshes narrow diameter (30mm) soil cores were collected. The location of each coring site was recorded using Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). Prior to analysis the samples were stored at 4 degrees Celsius at the University of St Andrews. Upon return to the laboratory the cores were described following the Troels-Smith scheme. Results were recorded on to lab sheets and transferred into an Excel file. Results were exported as comma separated value (.csv) files for ingestion into the EIDC.
