Mire size and shape, as well as slope and moisture conditions in mires and their surrounding upslope areas across 9 000 years of mire development in the post-glacial landscape of the Sävar Rising Coastline Mire Chronosequence
This dataset is used in the paper "Topography and time shape mire morphometry and large-scale mire distribution patterns in the northern boreal landscape", which aims at exploring how the mire surrounding upland area controls mire patterns in the Sävar Rising Coastline Mire Chronosequnce (SMC). Raw data includes six shapefiles (1. mires, 2. 20 m buffers surrounding the mires, 3. the unique and 4. total upslope catchment areas associated with each mire, as well as 5. 1000-year age zones and 6. all non-mire areas within the age zones). Further, it contains four .csv files that describe age, area, slope and wetness in the objects. In addition to this, mire shape and catchment-to-mire area ratio is provided for the mires. The data tables (.csv) are applied in the provided R script. The data covers 3473 mires. Data is derived from maps provided by the Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority, as well as the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The reader is refered to the README file for a more detailed description of the application of the maps.
