This dataset includes data collected during two related experiments measuring nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) in roots and shoots. The measurements enable functional studies of natural communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) mycelia in soil. The experiment was carried out at the University of Sheffield using soil from the NERC Soil Biodiversity site at Sourhope in Scotland. The work was part of the NERC Soil Biodiversity Thematic Programme, which was established in 1999 and was centred upon the intensive study of a large field experiment located at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute (now the James Hutton Institute) farm at Sourhope in the Scottish Borders. During the experiment, the site was monitored to assess changes in above-ground biomass production (productivity), species composition and relative abundance (diversity).

This web map service (WMS) provides Concentration Based Estimated Deposition (CBED) values of sulphur and nitrogen atmospheric deposition for 5x5 kilometre (km) grid squares of the UK averaged over the years 2011 to 2013. The maps show deposition values (kg ha-1 year-1) for oxidised nitrogen (NO2/NO3), reduced nitrogen (NH3/NH4) , non-marine sulphur (SO2/SO4) and base cations (Ca+Mg) . These total deposition values are the sum of four components calculated separately: wet deposition, dry deposition of gases, dry deposition of particulate matter and cloud droplet deposition. Habitat-specific data are provided for (i) moorland/short vegetation everywhere, and (ii) forest everywhere. Additionally, the grid square average over multiple land cover types (i.e. arable, grassland, forest, moorland, urban) is also provided.

This web map service presents modelled estimates of soil pH, carbon concentration (g kg-1), nitrogen concentration (% dry weight soil) and invertebrate density (individuals m-2) at 1km2 resolution across Great Britain. A Generalized Additive Model approach was used with Countryside Survey soil data from 2007 and including climate, atmospheric deposition, habitat, soil and spatial predictors. The models are based on data from Countryside Survey sample locations across Great Britain and are representative of 0-8cm soil depth for invertebrates and 0-15 cm soil depth for other variables. The Countryside Survey looks at a range of physical, chemical and biological properties of the topsoil from a representative sample of habitats across the UK. Loss-on-ignition (LOI) was determined by combustion of 10g dry soil at 375 degrees Celsius for 16 hours; carbon concentration was estimated by multiplying LOI by a factor of 0.55. Soil N concentration was determined using a total elemental analyser. Soil pH was measured using 10g of field moist soil with 25ml de-ionised water giving a ratio of soil to water of 1:2.5 by weight. Soil invertebrates were extracted from cores using a dry Tullgren extraction method and enumerated by microscope

Additionally, the grid square average over multiple land cover types (i.e. arable, grassland, forest, moorland, urban) is also calculated. The habitat-specific data are recommended for use with critical loads for the calculation of critical load exceedances.

The dataset contains measurements of mean atmospheric ammonia concentrations taken at seven locations in and around Cape Hallett, northern Victoria Land. The data were obtained using ALPHA passive diffusion samplers mounted at a height of 1.5 m above ground. Samplers were exposed in triplicate at each site for three periods: 26th December 2005 to 10th January 2006, 11th to 17th and 17th to 23rd January 2006, which coincided with the penguin breeding season. Various chemical and physiological analyses of ecological materials were also conducted during the period December 2004 to January 2006, to study the effects of nitrogen enrichment on lichens. Analyses were performed on whole thalli of Umbilicaria decussata and Xanthomendosa borealis and the terminal 10-20 mm of Usnea sphacelata with Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and delta 15N values determined. Other samples analysed for N and P values include guano-rich surface soil collected from Seabee Hook to a depth of 5 mm, and an Adelie chick leg muscle, dissected from recent skua kills. Replicate values for phosphomonoesterase activity in the lichen species Usnea sphacelata, Umbilicaria decussata and Xanthomendosa borealis are listed. Lichen samples were collected from various Cape Hallett sites and analysed using the p-nitropenol phosphate method at a range of pH values.
