Soil carbon, nitrogen, and ice content data (2014-2018) at Happy Valley and Sagwon Hills in Northern Alaska, United States

This dataset contains three data files from soil data collected by sampling soil cores and pits across a toposequence on two hillslopes in permafrost affected soils in Northern Alaska, USA. Soil cores and profiles were excavated to 3m or until auger refusal. Samples were collected by genetic soil horizons for laboratory analysis and organized into complete soil profiles ordered depth. Soil carbon, nitrogen, and ice stocks (stocks_by_core.csv) were calculated from the core dataset . Data for mean values by depth increments (20,50,100,150,200 cm) of total soc, total nitrogen, bulk density, and ice content were determined and made available in this dataset (soc-tn-bd-ice-slab_tables.csv). Stocks by site are included in a separate file (stocks_by_site.csv). Each of these three files also has an associated data dictionary file (stocks_by_core_dd.csv, soc-tn-bd-ice-slab_tables_dd.csv, stocks_by_site_dd.csv). Finally, an FLMD file is also included (FLMD_Happy_Valley_Sagwon.csv).
