Title

Soil metrics, vegetation species and biomass data, and field management information from pasture fed livestock farms across Great Britain, 2019

Abstract

This set of data includes records of vegetation species and characteristics, soil quality metrics and aspects of management relating to a single field on each sampled farm. Data were collected in 2019, from farms across Great Britain belonging to the Pasture Fed Livestock Association (PFLA). The data were collected by the UK Centre of Ecology & Hydrology, during a project funded by the BBSRC, seeking to evidence the impacts of pasture fed livestock approaches on grassland parameters, in particular, sward composition and associated soil qualities.

Lineage

Data were collected by trained members of UKCEH staff, according to standardised protocols in the summer of 2019. Vegetation and management records were collected on electronic recording devices. Soil samples were analysed at UKAS Accredited labs at UKCEH Lancaster. All data were transferred to secure databases at UKCEH Lancaster once collected.
