Plant aboveground net primary productivity estimates (2021) and litter layer depth measurements (2018-2019) at five long-term grassland-to-woodland land use contrasts across England
ANPP estimates and litter layer depth measurements in this dataset are co-located with soil physical, chemical and biological properties (0-1 m), soil hydraulic measurements (soil water release curves and hydraulic conductivity), and earthworm counts and identification. A file is provided to connect all co-located measurements.
This project was part of the UK-SCAPE programme which started in 2018 and was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council as National Capability (award number NE/R016429/1).

Provenance & quality
The litter layer depths were measured in most grids with a ruler at the time of soil sampling. Three measurements were recorded on field sheets and transferred to Microsoft Excel. The data were manipulated using R to calculate the mean and the data were exported as a .csv file .
