Plant, soil and algal rock scrape samples were taken in both April and August 2013 on Disko Island, West Greenland using a small trowel, placed into plastic bags, and subsequently transferred into glass vials for freeze drying and homogenisation. Samples were analysed for carbon isotopes (BGS, Keywo...
