Data for the project: Climatic impacts on the availability and transfer of chemical elements through Arctic terrestrial food-chains: a pilot study

<p>Uploaded data contain trace element concentrations measured in various biological samples collected at Zackenberg Research station (northeast Greenland) in August 2021</p> <p>Fifty (50) sample plots were visited to collect invertebrates (using pitfalls) and sample soil, vegetation, muskox feces and wool.</p> <p>The sheet PlotInfo provides information on the sample plots, which were placed using a stratified random placement procedure across 5 vegetation types and the elevational gradient</p> <p>The sheet Soil contains trace element concentrations (ppm) as well as N and C (%) measured in the soil samples across all 50 sample plots</p> <p>The sheet Vegetation contains trace element concentrations (ppm) as well as N and C (%) measured in the vegetation samples across all 50 sample plots</p> <p>The sheet Insects contains trace element concentrations (ppm) measured in the various insect groups captured in pitfall traps in 9 sample plots</p> <p>The sheet Muskox feces contains trace element concentrations (ppm) measured in the feces samples collected at all 50 sample plots</p> <p>The sheet Muskox Wool contains trace element concentrations (ppm) measured in 25 wool samples collected throughout the sampling area (not at specific sample plots).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Trace element concentrations were measured at the ICP-MS platform at the Observatoirie Midi-Pyrenees, Toulouse, France</p> <p>N and C analyses were done at Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For further information on the project, samples, methods used contact flbe@ecos.au.dk</p>
