This dataset was experimentally compiled in the laboratory to provide insights into the effects of temperatures associated with different fire severities on the leachability of metals and nutrients from soils across NSW. The findings are detailed in a report (to be uploaded soon) designed to inform decision-making processes within the Preparedness, Prevention, Respond and Recovery (PPRR) cycle for natural hazards.

The data includes: Sheet 1: Characterisation of collected soils, including total metal and nutrient concentrations, total organic carbon content, and moisture content (Sheet 1). Sheet 2: XRD analysis data for untreated soils and soils treated at 200°C and 850°C. Sheet 3: Leachable concentrations of dissolved and total nutrients, and dissolved metals for each soil and treatment following the leachate experiment.
