Engineering geology of tropical red clay soils

Dataset comprises the results of a study into the engineering geological characteristics of tropical red clay soils, funded by the Overseas Development Administration. The geotechnical properties...

Ground Movements: Shrink/Swell Clays Project

The main aim of the project is to determine the shrinkage and swelling properties of UK clays and mudrocks and to investigate the relationships between them. Thus leading to a better understanding...

Chimney Meadow (Church Field) soil water retention measurements (pF curves)

Soil moisture and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) measurements within the top metre of soil at Church Field, Chimney Meadow National Nature Reserve. Church Field lies on a clay lens which...

Soil biodiversity, carbon cycling and crop plant biomass responses to experimental biochar amendment of agricultural soil (Dundee, UK)

These data describe the results of a three year (2011-2013) factorial experiment using plant-soil mesocosms testing the effects of biochar on soil biodiversity and soil carbon fluxes. The...

Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mineral Safeguarding Areas - Brick Clay only

The adopted [Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Minerals and Waste Local Plan...

NFI+ Soil Condition & Health

This dataset contains comprehensive soil chemical and physical indicators collected as part of the NFI+ (National Forest Inventory Plus) programme and the BioSoil forest soil and biodiversity...

Carbon and nitrogen cycling in chalk, greensand and clay soils over a seasonal cycle in the Hampshire Avon catchment

Data on the carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils from different geologies within the Hampshire Avon catchment, UK. The dataset also includes functional gene data, anion and cation concentrations,...

Mg and Li isotope data on laboratory clay minerals and metadata (NERC grant NE/M001865/1)

Clay minerals (smectites) were synthesised experimentally to determine isotope fractionation factors (Li and Mg). The data are provided here. Interpretation is ongoing.

Experimental direct shear friction dataset for synthetic clay gouges (NERC grant NE/L002469/1)

Friction coefficient and frictional stability (rate & state parameter) data for triaxially compressed direct shear experiments on kaolinite-rich china clay and Mg-montmorillonite fault gouges...

Soil Pits

Soil Pits represent the most detailed descriptions made of a soil profile. They are used for classification of the soil series.

Experimental friction dataset for heterogeneous and homogeneous mixed quartz-clay fault gouge layers (NERC Grant NE/P002943/1)

The data are from a suite of friction experiments performed on simulated fault gouges comprised of clay-quartz mixtures, sheared in a direct-shear arrangement. Some experiments were performed on...

Elemental and isotopic data for timed exchange experiments between clay, mineral water and seawater

This dataset presents both isotopic and elemental data for a series of cation exchange experiments between mineral water, montmorillonite clay and seawater. These were a series of in-house...

Hampshire Avon: soil temperature and water content data from three sub-catchments

The dataset contains measurements of soil temperature and volumetric water content from plots in agricultural grasslands in the Hampshire Avon catchment (UK) from late-2013 to September 2015....

A systematic review of common measurement methods of global soil protease activity between 1970-2020

The dataset contains global soil protease activities and common methodological parameters (i.e. fluorometric and colorimetric analysis) used to measure soil protease activity between 1970-2020. The...

Soil Series

Complete list of all Soil Series as defined in the Soil Survey Technical Monograph TM17, including pending series, old series which have been rationalised into modern series and non series classes...

Forestry England Soils

The vector dataset provides detailed (1:10,000) soil type information for part (approximately half) of the Nations Forests. The main soil groups are given and for most polygons, a lower level of...

Soil Series Information

List of the basic soil types (or SERIES) which are components of the soil associations on the National Soil Map.

Urban Soil Chemistry

This dataset has now been superseded, please see the Estimated Urban Soil Chemistry dataset. There are two themes to BGS urban soil chemistry, the point source dataset and the estimated dataset....

NFI Soil Chemistry

Soil chemistry data of soil samples collected within National Forest Inventory (NFI) woodland plots across England during the 2023/24 survey period. The dataset provides quantitative information on...

NNPA Soil Depth

Soil depths measured in and around Northumberland National Park. Areas of peat have been targetted but that is not to say that all records in this dataset are peat depths, some are not peat soils.
