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

Dataset

Description

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.
