Spatial mapping of surficial soil organic carbon storage and stocks across Great British saltmarshes
The geospatial dataset maps organic carbon (OC) storage (kg OC m-2) and OC stocks (tonnes OC) of surficial soils across 438 Great British saltmarshes. The OC density for the surficial soils (top 10 cm) is mapped across 451.65 km2 of saltmarshes, identified from current saltmarsh maps of Great Britain’s three constituent countries; Scotland, England and Wales The spatial maps are built upon surficial (top 10 cm) soil bulk density and carbon data produced by the NERC C-Side project and Marine Scotland data combined with existing saltmarsh vegetation maps. The work was carried out under the NERC programme - Carbon Storage in Intertidal Environment (C-SIDE), NERC grant reference NE/R010846/1.

-
OC storage (kg OC m2) were calculated for each class of saltmarsh vegetation and marsh zone found in Great Britain using the OC content (% wt.) and dry bulk density (kg m-3) for saltmarsh soils were provide by the NERC C-Side project and Marine Scotland data. This data resource contains maps OC densities across 438 Great British saltmarshes. The mean OC storage of each NVC class/marsh zone was combined with the saltmarsh mapping of English, Scottish and Welsh saltmarshes to produce a bespoke GIS layers mapping the OC storage across Great British saltmarsh soils to a depth of 10 cm. Results were exported as shapefiles (.shp) for ingestion into the EIDC.
