Effect Sizes of Agricultural Practices on Soil Carbon and Crop Yield

358.8 KB of tabular data in XLSX format, quantifying the effect sizes of different agricultural management practices on soil organic carbon storage in the 0-20 cm layer and crop yield. The dataset was authored by Qian Jiaxin and last updated on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the relative impact of different management practices on soil carbon sequestration based on the described effect sizes.
• Model potential yield changes associated with soil carbon management strategies based on the linked outcome data.
• Conduct meta-analysis on agricultural interventions using the standardized effect size metrics described.
• Train predictive models for soil carbon or crop yield response to specific farming practices.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Focuses on a specific, measurable outcome: soil organic carbon in the 0-20 cm layer.
• File size of 358.8 KB indicates a manageable, focused collection of data points.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and structure require manual inspection after download.
• The geographic and temporal coverage of the underlying studies is not specified.
