Title

RATE Lo-RISE Terrestrial Dataset 1 (NERC grant NE/L000547/1)

Abstract

Data collected as part of the NERC funded Radioactivity and the Environment (RATE), Long-lived Radionuclides in the Surface Environment (Lo-RISE), research consortium.This data comes from the terrestrial workstream group based at the University of Manchester. The data consists of radionuclide measurements of environmental and biological samples including uranium (238), thorium (232) and radium (226), and soil subsurface and surface biota bioprospecting (plants and AM fungi). The data from this first dataset has been published in the following publication: Davies et al. (2018) Multiple environmental factors influence 238U, 232Th and 226Ra bioaccumulation in arbuscular mycorrhizal-associated plants. Science of the Total Environment 640-641:921-934.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Field sampling at study sites at South Terras in Cornwall and Needle's Eye in Scotland in May 2014 to collect and identify dominant plant samples, isolate surrounding rhizosphere soil samples; measurement of soil pH, TIC, TOC, nutrients, radionuclides and selected elements by gas analysis, ion chromatography, ICP-AES, ICP-MS and gamma spectroscopy, and measurement of plant radionuclides and selected elements by ICP-AES, ICP-MS, gamma spectroscopy and autoradiography. Plant identification by DNA sequencing, and AM fungi quantification by light microscopy and DNA sequencing.
