Bulk density, ash content, humification, peat accumulation and selected lithogenic data of Store Mosse peat bog

Malin Kylander, Antonio Martínez Cortizas, Richard Bindler

Chemical and physical as well as age dating information from the Store Mosse peat bog in southern Sweden. This record dates back to 8900 cal yr BP. The aim of the research was to reconstruct mineral dust deposition over time. As such we have only presented the lithogenic element data (Al, Ga, Rb, Sc, Ti, Y, Zr, Th and the REE) as the sample preparation method was tailored to these elements. This data is supported by parameters describing the deposit including bulk density, humification, ash content and net peat accumulation rates.
