Abstract
This dataset is from a study examining organic carbon (OC) burial rates for 27 artificial ponds across a forested to agricultural land cover gradient in central New York State (USA). The dataset includes data on replicate sediment cores, estimated OC burial rates, and a suite of environmental data related to the ponds and their catchments.
