          <dc:description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Dataset accompanying the manuscript “Patch-scale variation in soil organic carbon stocks under contrasting grass growth forms in an Afromontane grassland”. The data were collected on the Kondoa Plateau, Samara Karoo Reserve, South Africa, and include measurements from red grass (&lt;i&gt;Themeda triandra&lt;/i&gt;) tussock patches and &lt;i&gt;Cynodon dactylon&lt;/i&gt; grazing lawns. Variables include soil organic carbon concentration and stocks, bulk density, soil moisture, clay content, belowground biomass, plant species count, pH and elevation. The dataset contains the observations used for the statistical analyses reported in the manuscript.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
