Soil particle size distributions and CO2 fluxes of permafrost soils from the North West Territories and Yukon, Canada, 2019-2020

[This dataset is embargoed until January 2, 2026]. This dataset contains information on the soil particle size distribution and the 12 & 13 CO2 fluxes from varying permafrost soil types and horizons sampled from the North West Territories and Yukon, Canada in 2019 and 2020. The soils were used in a continuous labelling experiment with live Agrostis capillaris growing into them with corresponding root-free controls. The recorded flux data is used to derive the rhizosphere priming effect in the tested soils.

Statement
The soil particle data was generated by adding dried, hydrogen peroxide digested soil subsamples to a Bettersizer S3 Plus (Bettersize Instruments Ltd., Dandong, China) soil particle analyser which integrates laser diffraction and dynamic image analysis to characterize particle size and size distribution over a wide size range. The CO2 flux data was generated by connecting a Picarro G2000i stable isotope analyser to each of the 216 soil headspaces for 3 minutes or until stable and recording the concentrations of 12/13 CO2 and the flow of incoming air to the headspace. These data are then used to calculate a flux of CO2 from each soil. The 12&13CO2 flux is then derived using a mixing model.
