Geochemistry and grain size of terrestrial sediments collected across a stream network, Swineshaw Moor, UK, 2018

This dataset contains details of sediment geochemistry, loss-on-ignition and sediment median particle size for terrestrial sediment samples collected across the stream network of Harehill and Swineshaw Moors, Stalybridge, Tameside, Manchester. Samples were collected on three occasions in 2018 following a severe moorland wildfire (July 2018). Sediment samples were collected using stream sediment traps which accumulated sediments between the dates of sampling. Sediment traps were emptied in the field and samples were returned to the laboratory for analysis.
