Baseline soil pH data from Sourhope field experiment site, Scotland, 1999-2002 [NERC Soil Biodiversity Programme]

This data set details soil pH values and soil moisture values from experimental plots at a field site at Sourhope, Scotland, between 1998 and 2002. Data were collected as part of the NERC Soil Biodiversity Thematic Programme, which was established in 1999 and was centred upon the intensive study of a large field experiment located at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute (now the James Hutton Institute) farm at Sourhope in the Scottish Borders (Grid reference: NT8545019630). During the experiment, the site was monitored to assess changes in above-ground biomass production (productivity), species composition and relative abundance (diversity).

本数据集详尽记录了位于苏格兰索恩霍普的实验地块上，1998年至2002年间所测得的土壤pH值和土壤湿度值。数据收集是作为NERC土壤生物多样性专题计划的一部分，该计划于1999年设立，旨在对位于苏格兰边界麦凯莱土地利用研究学院（现更名为詹姆斯·哈顿研究所）位于索恩霍普的农场内的大型田野实验进行深入研究（网格参考：NT8545019630）。在实验期间，该地点被持续监测，以评估地上生物量生产（生产力）、物种组成及相对丰度（多样性）的变化。关于本数据集的详细信息，请参阅https://doi.org/10.5285/a35d0ded-b422-4af3-8f74-e70249fc9788。
