Vegetation and soils data assessing effects of composted soil amendments on ecosystem restoration recovery, Webb City, Missouri USA 2023

This data set includes soil sample and vegetation plot sample data for a project examining the ability of composted soil amendments to improve terrestrial ecological restoration outcomes in a post-contaminant setting. Sites in the Missouri section of the Tri-States Mining District that had been restored and treated with varying levels of composted soil amendments were assessed for differences in biomass and foliar cover and for differences in soil chemical and physical properties. In this data set, plant species cover estimates and biomass measurements are complemented by measurements of soil nutrients and physical characteristics.
