| Location description: | Bankhead Moss (170 m above sea level) is a small ombrotrophic raised bog in Fife, eastern lowland Scotland. Bankhead Moss is one of only two remaining examples of raised bogs in eastern Fife that has not suffered severe degradation to the point of losing its value for nature conservation. Since 1966, the site has been a nature reserve owned and administered by the Scottish Wildlife Trust (see Supplementary Information for detailed site history). Mean annual precipitation at the nearest weather station, Leuchars, ∼12 km to the north, is 713 mm y−1. Six randomly distributed short cores were extracted at Bankhead Moss in October 2020 using a stratified random sampling strategy of dividing the peat bog into dome centre area and bog periphery. Their coordinates were determined using a random number generator; core locations include both the centre (dome) and periphery of the bog |
