Data underlying the publication: The importance of marshes providing soil stabilization to resist fast-flow erosion in case of a dike breach

This dataset contains the data obtained and utilized for the manuscript: The importance of marshes providing soil stabilization to resist fast-flow erosion in case of a dike breach. The aim was to quantify the topsoil erosion resistance from marshes and bare tidal flats with different soil types to understand the extent to which they can help reduce breach depth in case of a dike breach during a storm. Intact soil samples were collected from eleven locations in the Netherlands at different tidal elevations and then exposed for three hours to 2.3 m s-1 currents in a flow flume. The topsoil erosion was measured for each sample. The dataset includes 1) a file with the belowground vegetation properties, sediment properties and erosion values for each soil sample; 2) a file with soil stability data from artificial cracks made in some of the samples at the end of the topsoil erosion experiment; and 3) the code for the data analysis in R.<br>

本数据集包含为完成论文《沼泽通过土壤固持抵御堤决时的快速冲刷侵蚀》（The importance of marshes providing soil stabilization to resist fast-flow erosion in case of a dike breach）所获取并使用的全部研究数据。本研究旨在量化不同土壤类型下沼泽与潮间裸滩的表土抗侵蚀性能，以探明风暴潮引发堤决事件时，二者对降低溃决水深的贡献程度。研究人员从荷兰11个不同潮位高程的采样点位采集原状土样，随后将土样置于水流水槽中，以2.3 m·s⁻¹的流速冲刷3小时，最后测定每份土样的表土侵蚀量。本数据集包含以下三部分内容：1）涵盖每份土样地下植被属性、沉积物特性与侵蚀量数据的文件；2）针对部分土样，在表土侵蚀实验结束后人工制造裂隙所测得的土壤稳定性数据文件；3）用于数据分析的R语言代码文件。
