Physical and biogeochemical measurements of aboveground (vegetation) biomass from across ten saltmarshes, UK, 2019-2020

The data represent a quantitative measure of aboveground (vegetation) biomass, organic carbon content and aboveground (vegetation) carbon from 144 vegetation samples collected across ten UK saltmarshes between 2019 and 2020. Sites were chosen to represent contrasting habitat types in the United Kingdom, in particular sediment types, vegetation, and sea level history.

Statement
At each site a 1 m2 quadrat was placed on the marsh and the vegetation described following the British National Vegetation Classification (NVC) scheme. Within each quadrat an area of 0.125 m2 was harvested. Live vegetation was cut at the soil level and dead litter was collected from the soil surface. DGPS was used to record the location and elevation above ordnance datum of the sample sites. Aboveground (vegetation) biomass, organic carbon content and aboveground (vegetation) carbon data was produced 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.
