Restored lowland heathlands store substantially less carbon than undisturbed lowland heath

<p>Dataset supporting the publication 'Restored lowland heathlands store substantially less carbon than undisturbed lowland heath', currently under consideration for publication in Nature Communication Earth &amp; Environment</p><p>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)</p>
