Summary

This dataset contains the location, dimension, and ecological characteristics of 492 gully blocks on Kinder Scout, an upland peatland in the UK. Stone and timber dams were installed in 2013-2014 as part of peatland restoration works on Kinder Scout. The survey was undertaken to determine the longer-term (7-8 years) evolution of gully blocks. Location data for dam points was collected using a differential GPS (dGPS). Field measurements of dam dimensions and vegetation were carried out. Some dam characteristics were derived using geospatial methods. Ancillary vegetation data are provided in a separate file to the main dam survey data and can be matched on the dam identification number.
