Provenance & quality

Data are obtained from sieved and dried soil cores, which were then homogenised and analysed for %C, %N (via elemental analysis), d13C and d15N content (via IRMS).

QC on all variables involved checking max and minimum values to ensure these are within the range of ecologically realistic values, and plotting histograms of data to identify obvious outliers. No outliers or unrealistic values were identified so all data are included.
