Urban Forest Soil Microbial Functional Potential Data

Data supporting a 2026 study on urban forest restoration and soil microbial communities. The dataset, 97.1 MB in size, was created by Stella Brachmann and published on figshare in April 2026. It includes files in XLSX, RData, R, and RDS formats.

Use Cases

• Analyze shifts in soil microbial beta-diversity metrics across different urban forest restoration stages.
• Model relationships between restoration treatments and microbial functional potential measurements.
• Compare microbial community composition data (e.g., from RData files) with associated environmental variables from the XLSX files.

Strengths

• Dataset is 97.1 MB, indicating a substantial volume of data for analysis.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse and sharing.
• Data is recent, associated with a 2026 publication, reflecting current research.

Limitations

• The exact row count and column structure are unknown, complicating initial assessment of data scope.
• Data is provided in multiple, specialized formats (RData, RDS) requiring specific software (R) for full access.
• Geographic coverage and specific temporal range of the underlying measurements are not specified.
