Data underlying the publication: "Quantifying soil resistance to sheet and lateral erosion across different habitats on a managed sandy back-barrier island"

This dataset contains the data obtained and utilized for the manuscript: Quantifying soil resistance to sheet and lateral erosion across different habitats on a managed sandy back-barrier island. This study quantified the erosion resistance to hydraulic forces across a sandy back-barrier island by i) correlating the sheet and lateral soil erosion resistance to sediment and vegetation properties and ii) relating these properties to the past management and development of the island. Erosion data was obtained from sediment cores collected in the field thet where exposed to waves and fast water flow in wave mesocosms and a fast-flow flume respectively. The field data includes sediment and vegetation properties, which were correlated to the top and lateral erosion.本数据集包含支撑下述研究论文的相关数据：《量化管理型沙质后障壁岛（back-barrier island）不同生境下土壤抗片状侵蚀（sheet erosion）与侧向侵蚀（lateral erosion）能力》（原文标题：Quantifying soil resistance to sheet and lateral erosion across different habitats on a managed sandy back-barrier island）。 本研究针对沙质后障壁岛量化了其土壤抵御水动力侵蚀的能力，具体通过两条研究路径实现：其一，将土壤抗片状与侧向侵蚀能力与沉积物（sediment）及植被属性建立关联；其二，将上述属性与该岛屿既往的管理与开发历程相联系。 侵蚀相关数据源自野外采集的沉积物岩芯（sediment cores），分别将其置于波浪中型生态系统（wave mesocosms）与快速流水槽（fast-flow flume）中，以模拟波浪与急流的作用条件。本次野外采集的数据包含沉积物与植被属性信息，上述属性与表层片状侵蚀及侧向侵蚀存在相关性。
