The dataset looks at Fungal hyphal in-growth into sandbags at two of the MOORCO experimental tree planting sites in North East Scotland (Glensaugh and Ballogie). The MOORCO experiment is an experimental tree planting project established on heather moorland in North East Scotland in 2005 to study the impact of woodland expansion on heather-dominated moorland. MOORCO is managed by the James Hutton Institute. The data in this file relate to fenced experimental plots (part of the MOORCO-BIG experiment) planted with Birch (Betula pubescens) and Pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees at 1m spacing, as well as unplanted heather controls. The treatment replication level is n = 4 at Glensaugh and n = 3 at Ballogie. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/ef1fb0e7-0c61-4d06-bbde-719f586cb1be
