Winter Wheat Yield and Soil Gas Data from Crop Rotation and Fertilization Experiment

Rotation-Fertilization contains field measurements from a winter wheat experiment in Kaifeng, China. The dataset evaluates how maize–wheat and peanut–wheat rotations combined with inorganic and organic fertilization affect yield, soil CO₂ and N₂O fluxes, and soil–microbe–plant traits. Data was collected by Zhongling Yang and covers the 2022 to 2024 wheat seasons.

Use Cases

• Modeling wheat yield trade-offs based on crop rotation and fertilization type.
• Analyzing soil CO₂ and N₂O flux patterns based on repeated measurements during the 2023–2024 wheat season.
• Investigating relationships between soil microbial diversity and nutrient cycling based on bacterial/fungal Shannon indices and enzyme activity data.
• Assessing climate-smart management practices based on soil properties like total carbon, ammonium-N, and nitrate-N.

Strengths

• Data is structured across seven specific Excel sheets covering yield, gas fluxes, plant traits, soil properties, microbes, and enzymes.
• Experimental design follows a split-plot randomized complete block design with defined treatments (e.g., MW/PW rotation, IF/OF50/OF75/OF100 fertilization).
• Includes multi-year measurements, with yield data from 2022 to 2024 and gas flux data from the 2023–2024 season.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (37.9 KB), indicating a limited scope likely confined to a single experimental site.
