Carbon and nitrogen content of permafrost soils from the North West Territories and Yukon, Canada, 2019-2020
This dataset contains information on the carbon and nitrogen content of varying permafrost soil types and layers sampled from the North West Territories and Yukon, Canada in 2019 and 2020. Samples analysed include turbels, orthels and histels from drained lakes, non-lake (alluvial and till) and yedoma deposits including active layer and both organic and mineral permafrost (where appropriate).

- Statement
- The soil samples were collected by digging soil pits, coring or horizontal drill holes into thaw slumps and recording the sampling location via GPS. Frozen soil samples were shipped to Exeter where they were defrosted, manually homogenised by mixing, subsampled and oven dried, then ground and weighed out for CN elemental analysis in June 2021. The elemental standard and check standard used was EDTA every ten samples.
