Soil carbon and plant cover data for uninvaded and cheatgrass invaded sites in Grand Junction, Colorado and Rock Springs, Wyoming
February 19, 2025
Soil data includes carbon (total, organic, mineral-associated, particulate-organic) and texture. Bulk density data includes bulk density values used to calculate carbon stocks. Plant data includes microsite coverage percents and sagebrush demographics. Data is from uninvaded and cheatgrass invaded points near Grand Junction, Colorado and Rock Springs, Wyoming in October and November 2023.

Soil organic carbon ('SOC') in drylands comprises nearly a third of the global SOC pool and has relatively rapid turnover and thus is a key driver of variability in the global carbon cycle. SOC is also a sensitive indicator of longer-term directional change and disturbance-responses of ecosystem C storage. Biome-scale disruption of the dryland carbon cycle by exotic annual grass...
