NERC Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/255320dd-38ae-4a07-93bb-4f90439309f8 Data comprise soil microbial and biogeochemical data collected during a snow manipulation experiment on the summit of Hohe Mut (2650 m) near Obergurgl, in the Austrian Alps (lat. 46.84862, long. 11.02957). Soil microbial data include phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analyses, and bacterial (16S Small subunit ribosomal RNA) and fungal (internal transcribed spacer region 2) high throughput sequences. Soil biogeochemical data include soil extracellular enzyme activities, soil pH, gravimetric moisture content and various C and N pools and fluxes. The experiment was part of the NERC project NE/N009452/1. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/255320dd-38ae-4a07-93bb-4f90439309f8 Broadbent, A.A.D.

Snow had been removed from five plots, added to five other plots and remained untouched on five plots (controls). Soil cores were taken (Ø = 2 cm, depth = 7 cm, where possible, although some cores were shallower when soil was frozen during winter) using a steel corer from five randomly chosen locations in each plot. Soil cores from the same plot were pooled and homogenised, any vegetation or litter was separated and discarded. Soil subsamples were immediately lysed in the field and stored at -80 deg C prior to molecular analyses. The remaining soil samples were sieved (4 mm) and stored at 4oC prior to biogeochemical analyses. See documentation accompanying the data for further details.
