Statement

Lead-210 (210Pb) dating was used to date the upper part of the soil profile which was cut at intervals of 1 cm resolution. Samples were freeze dried and ground and the 210Pb activity was determined by alpha spectrometry following chemical extraction. Constant rate of supply models were used to assign ages in years to the soil. This data can be used to quantify recent carbon accumulation rates (refer to dataset of bulk density, carbon and nitrogen content).
