NERC Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/e6e9a85c-b537-4110-899f-2c1498bc826c This dataset includes soil mass, organic phosphorus, carbon and nitrogen concentrations for light and heavy fractions, obtained from soils collected from UK habitats. The dataset includes twenty soils, collected from the Ribble, Avon and Conwy catchments in the North West, South and North Wales respectively. Samples were split into light and heavy fractions using a physicochemical fractionation method. The dataset also includes recoveries of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus as a measure of the efficacy of the fractionation method. Extra data on sampling location, catchments conditions and bulk soil texture are also included in this dataset.

Samples had been bulked from 6 or 10 separate cores, and included both topsoils and subsoils. We chose twenty soils to provide a range of SOM contents, and with sufficient light material to analyse. Most soils were under semi natural vegetation, three were from improved grassland. Arable soils were not analysed owing to their low contents of light material. We applied a modified physicochemical density fractionation method based on previously published procedures.
