This dataset contains data used for the paper: Warming promotes loss of subsoil carbon through accelerated degradation of plant-derived organic matter. Soil Biology and Biochemistry 156, 108185. doi:10.1016/j.soilbio.2021.108185On April 2018 (after 4.5 years of warming), we collected O-horizon (organic horizon) material and soil core down to 90 cm depth from a whole-soil warming experiment in a mixed-coniferous temperate forest, located at the University of California Blodgett experimental forest in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, CA USA. The goal was to assess how 4.5 years of +4 °C whole-soil warming affected the quantity and quality of soil organic matter. Cores were collected from 6 experimental plots (three replicated blocks); samples were collected in 10 cm increments from 0 to 90 cm depth.This dataset contains a compressed (.zip) archive of the data used for this manuscript. The dataset includes files in .xlsx format, which can be accessed and processed using MS Excel or R. Carbon and nitrogen concentrations, as well as stable carbon isotope composition ((δ13C) and solvent extractable lipid biomarker (alkanoic acids and alkanes) data are provided as processed data files. Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy data are provided as raw output and processed data files.The dataset files "Blodgett_warming_Data" and "Blodgett_warming_raw_data.xlsx" were updated on July 7, 2021. The following updates were made: (1) specification of the units of measurements in the dataset (the unit of measurement was missing in some parameters) and (2) the column name "pulled depth" was changed to "pooled depth" in the updated data files.
