Global Soil Carbon and pH Amelioration Data from 180 Field Trials

180 field trials globally were analyzed using bivariate linear mixed-effects modelling to isolate the effect of pH amelioration on soil organic carbon. The dataset likely contains results showing pH amelioration enhances bulk SOC stocks by 18–20% and increases mineral-associated and microbial necromass carbon. It was authored by d xz and uploaded to figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling soil organic carbon stock changes based on pH amelioration effects mentioned in the description
• Analyzing relationships between microbial biomass, aggregate stability, and carbon pools based on structural equation modelling results
• Evaluating carbon flow into mineral-stabilized and physically protected pools based on the stability continuum analysis
• Developing stability-centric verification protocols for agricultural carbon credits based on the mechanistic foundation provided

Strengths

• Data is derived from a global synthesis of 180 field trials, providing a broad empirical base
• Analysis quantifies specific percentage increases in SOC components (e.g., bulk SOC up 18–20%)
• Dataset includes results from structural equation modelling confirming hierarchical drivers

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
