Restored lowland heathlands store substantially less carbon than undisturbed lowland heath

Dataset supporting the publication 'Restored lowland heathlands store substantially less carbon than undisturbed lowland heath', currently under consideration for publication in Nature Communication Earth & Environment

The conversion of lowland heathland to agricultural land in Europe significantly depleted soil carbon stocks. Restoring heathlands has been proposed as a mechanism to sequester soil carbon. Here we compared soil carbon in (i) agricultural pasture; (ii) native heathland and (iii) restored heathland through acidification with elemental sulphur (sulfur)
