(2023). Saturated hydraulic conductivity, bulk density and soil organic carbon content from three paired upland woodland and grassland sites in northern England, July 2019-April 2021. NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/03bbb1a9-703b-484b-aa16-5924c11e1f2d Saturated hydraulic conductivity, bulk density and soil organic carbon content were determined on soil samples extracted from the upper 50 cm of the soil profile for three paired upland woodland and grassland sites in northern England. The site pairs consisted of new deciduous plantation (less than five years old) and pasture, Fifteen year old deciduous plantation and pasture, and finally a site with mature deciduous woodland and pasture. Comparisons were made between woodland and pasture soil properties. The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council Grant NE/R004595/1: Optimising Natural Flood risk Management (NFM) in headwater catchments to protect downstream communities.

The samples were collected at the same point for depths of 2.5-7.5 cm, 12.5-17.5 cm, 22.5-27.5 cm, 32.5-37.5 cm, 42.5-47.5 cm, if the soil was deep enough. The samples were then brought to the laboratory and processed, while remaining in the same rings, on an Eijkelkamp 25 place permeameter to determine saturated hydraulic conductivity (reported in metres per day). Following these permeability measurements, the bulk density of the samples (grams per cubic centimetre) was determined through gravimetric assessment using oven drying at 105 deg C for 24 hours. For the upper two soil depths at each sampling point, soil organic carbon content was determined (reported as percentage of the total dry soil mass) via loss on ignition at 450 deg C for 5 hours.
