The dataset contains the isotopic composition of aquatic carbon forms obtained from peatland pools across six locations in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Samples were collected from the surface of peatland ponds.
Variables include radiocarbon (14C) content, stable carbon (δ13C) isotopic content, and associated data used in the data analysis in the published manuscript collected from the study locations in 2014 and 2015.

Provenance & quality
Full sampling description is provided in the data file description. In brief, samples were collected in the field and transported to the NERC Radiocarbon Facility in East Kilbride within 1 week of collection. Samples were processed following published protocols in the facility and analysed and reported followed radiocarbon convention.
