Time series of microbial carbon release from soil as carbon dioxide under different nitrogen and phosphorus treatments with a high glucose concentration added as a carbon source in the Conwy catchment, North Wales, UK (2016)

Time series data of carbon release in disintegrations per minute are presented for different nitrogen and phosphorus treatments with a high glucose concentration substrate added as a carbon source to soil samples from six depths (0-15, 15-30, 50-100, 100-150, 150-200 and 250-300 centimetres). Soil cores were collected from a field experiment in the Conwy catchment in July 2016 and returned the laboratories of the School of Environment, Natural Resources and Geography, Bangor University. A high molecular weight substrate was added as a carbon source to the samples and the rate of 14C-substrate mineralization measured. All the work was carried out by trained members of staff from Bangor University and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. The measurements were taken to improve understanding of the relationship between microbial activity and soil properties and depth of sampling, under differing nutrient availability. The data were collected for the NERC project 'The Multi-Scale Response of Water quality, Biodiversity and Carbon Sequestration to Coupled Macronutrient Cycling from Source to Sea' (NE/J011991/1). The project is also referred to as Turf2Surf. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/a15c35d7-0247-4ea3-820b-f6f20cc5ffed

本数据集呈现了不同氮磷处理下，以高葡萄糖浓度基质作为碳源添加至土壤样本中，在六个不同深度（0-15、15-30、50-100、100-150、150-200及250-300厘米）的碳释放时间序列数据。土壤柱样采集自康威流域的田间实验，并于2016年7月由英国班戈大学环境、自然资源与地理学院实验室接收。实验中向样本添加了高分子量基质作为碳源，并测量了14C基质矿化速率。所有工作均由班戈大学和生态与水文研究中心的培训人员完成。本测量旨在深化对微生物活动与土壤特性及采样深度之间关系在营养可用性差异下的理解。数据收集属于NERC项目“从源头至海洋的耦合宏量营养循环对水质、生物多样性和碳封存多尺度响应”项目（NE/J011991/1），该研究亦称为Turf2Surf。关于本数据集的详细信息可查阅https://doi.org/10.5285/a15c35d7-0247-4ea3-820b-f6f20cc5ffed。
