Description of Mont-Vert hillslope database: measured properties along soil cores and associated metadata

This dataset includes data and metadata of twenty soil cores collected in Mont-Vert banana plantation (Le Robert, Martinique, France) in February 2023. These data were collected in order to study the chlordecone (an organochlorine insecticide) redistribution along a cultivated hillslope. To this end, radiocesium activities (artificial radionuclide) and chlordecone concentrations were measured in soil core subsamples (5-cm increments).
