Losses of soil organic carbon with deforestation in mangroves of Madagascar (dataset)

The database compiles data (in Arias-Ortiz et al. 2020) on biogeochemical characteristics (density, organic carbon and total nitrogen, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes and sediment grain size) of mangrove forest soils in Tsimipaika Bay, Madagascar. Pb-210 concentrations of the first 40 cm are included. The dataset compiles data for a total of 10 cores (5 cores from an intact forest and 5 from a deforested area) along with surface water dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations measured at 8 stations.
