This dataset contains soil biogeochemical data collected along gradients of windthrow disturbance in Kielder Forest, Northumberland, England, in summer 2022 as part of the Monitoring Underground Disturbance (MUD) BioBank. We established ~200 m transects at 10 sites (defined by common stand type, topography) and established 50m2 sampling plots in three different disturbance regimes across each transect. Soils were analysed for moisture content, organic carbon and nitrogen, and root biomass.

Provenance & quality
Samples were collected and analysed by L. Lancastle. We used a ThermoFlash Elemental Analyser to obtain carbon and nitrogen data, and root biomass was determined gravimetrically. Soil carbon and nitrogen content are recorded in units of percent dry mass, and root biomass data are reported in units of mg cm-3. Data were quality-checked and made available by B. Waring – all original observations are provided, no outliers have been deleted.
