Initial soil conditions outweigh management in a cool-season dairy farm's carbon sequestration potential

Data used in the manuscript "Initial soil conditions outweigh management in a cool-season dairy farm’s carbon sequestration potential" (10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.152195)

Soil samples, gas fluxes, and biomass samples measured at the Organic Dairy Research Farm at the University of New Hampshire. Soil samples were in two sets, a spatially explicit set from 0 - 15 cm depth, and less spatially explicit samples taken at 10 cm increments. Soils were sampled for soil carbon and nitrogen content. Gas fluxes were measured using the chamber method with carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide gases measured on gas chromatographs with the change over time used to measure the gas flux rates. Forage biomass was measured by collecting biomass in 1 m2 plots. Please see the manuscript for more details on sampling.
