This dataset contains depth to water table measurements from ten experimental microcatchments (0.4-3.9 hectares) on Stalybridge Moor, an upland peatland in the Peak District, UK. The data extend from 2019 to 2022, covering a period before and after gully blocking took place in six microcatchments, with four microcatchment kept as a non-restored control. Monthly measurements from October-February, summer/autumn. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/e9ffe8aa-3c17-4f3a-a3e7-5ab3add0af07

This dataset contains the location, dimension, and ecological characteristics of 492 gully blocks on Kinder Scout, an upland peatland in the UK. Stone and timber dams were installed in 2013-2014 as part of peatland restoration works on Kinder Scout. The survey was undertaken to determine the longer-term (7-8 years) evolution of gully blocks. Location data for dam points was collected using a differential GPS (dGPS). Field measurements of dam dimensions and vegetation were carried out. Some dam characteristics were derived using geospatial methods. Ancillary vegetation data are provided in a separate file to the main dam survey data and can be matched on the dam identification number.

This dataset contains rainfall and runoff records, from pre- and post-restoration microcatchments (0.4-4 hectares), at two peatland sites in the Peak District, UK. Discharge data are provided as litres per second and rainfall data as millimetres. The Kinder Scout site contains 3 microcatchments with discharge records covering 2010-2021 at 10-minute timesteps. The Stalybridge site contains 10 microcatchments covering 2019-2022 at 5-minute timesteps. Different microcatchments had different restoration treatments, please refer to documentation for specific details.
