Dataset

Description

The dataset details radioisotope concentrations (210Pb, 214Pb, 137Cs, 241Am) of 1358 down core soil samples collected from 19 saltmarshes across the UK between 2018 -2021.

The work was carried out under the NERC programme - Carbon Storage in Intertidal Environment (C-SIDE), NERC grant reference NE/R010846/1. The dataset is embargoed until 12/07/2025 and will be released by NERC at that time.
