Labile, recalcitrant, and refractory organic matter in soil samples from UK saltmarshes collected between 2018 and 2021

The dataset details the quantification of three different pools of organic matter (labile, recalcitrant, and refractory) within 1211 down core soil samples collect from across UK saltmarsh sites between 2018 - 2021. Additionally, the dataset presents a measure of organic matter reactivity using the carbon reactivity index (CRI). The work was carried out under the NERC programme - Carbon Storage in Intertidal Environment (C-SIDE), NERC grant reference NE/R010846/1 Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/9a62bb8a-dd88-42d2-9af2-25ec338110e6

Statement
Across UK saltmarshes wide diameter (60mm) soil cores were collected. The location of each coring site was recorded using Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS). Prior to analysis the samples were stored at 4 degrees Celsius at the University of St Andrews. Upon return to the laboratory the cores were described following the Troels-Smith scheme. The cores were sub-sampled at 1cm intervals resulting in 1221 samples. Thermogravimetric analysis was undertaken using standard analytical procedures (detailed in the supporting documentation). All laboratory equipment were calibrated in accordance with the laboratory practises at the University of St Andrews. Results were recorded on to lab sheets and transferred into an Excel file. Results were exported as comma separated value (.csv) files for ingestion into the EIDC.
