LakePulse Network : Carbon burial, sediment mass accumulation rates, sediment carbon content and related environmental data (Canada, 2017-2019), associated to the paper “Continental scale patterns and drivers of organic and inorganic carbon burial in lakes across Canada”, by Aulard et al.

The database contains core sediment geochemical data, and complementary limnological, watershed land use, climate data for 105 lakes across Canada. Sediment cores and limnological samples were collected during summer months of 2017, 2018, and 2019 as part of the LakePulse Network research program.

Watershed and lake morphometry variables were determined from the Canadian Digital Elevation Model dataset, catchments characteristics were extracted from Geological Survey of Canada, doi.org/10.4095/208175, soil type from Soil Landscape of Canada v.2.2 sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/slc/v2.2/index.html. Historical land use and historical climate were extracted using remote sensing after watershed delineation from respectively ncei.noaa.gov/metadata/geoportal/rest/metadata/item/gov.noaa.ncdc:C00814/html# and cds.climate.copernicus.eu/datasets/reanalysis-era5-land?tab=overview.
