Data and meta data used to support the findings of the paper "Foraging deeply: Depth-specific plant nitrogen uptake in response to climate-induced N-release and permafrost thaw in the High Arctic", Pedersen et al., 2020, Global Change Biology, DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15306. The study was conducted in Zackenberg, northeastern Greenland. Stable isotopic labelling experiment to simulate autumn N-release at three soil depths within the active layer soil profile to investigate plant, root and microbial N uptake over time and from different soil depths. Data include 15N isotope data for plants, roots, microorganisms and soil by treatment, species and soil depth, and data on ecosystem characteristics.
