However, carbon assessments often aggregate semi-natural and cultivated grasslands despite their contrasting land-use histories, management and soil conditions. We quantified soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks across semi-natural and cultivated grassland habitat types in northeastern Europe.</p><p dir="ltr">We measured SOC stocks in the topsoil (0-10 cm) at 227 sites representing 12 semi-natural grassland habitat types occurring in Estonia that are listed in Annex I of the EU Habitats Directive, together with dry and wet cultivated grasslands.</p> 2026-09-18T09:41:56Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.33927016.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Estonian_grasslands_data_2021-2023/33927016 CC0
