Description
Laowu Mountain Region in Yunnan, China, is the focus of this dataset, which examines the relationship between soil properties, microbial communities, and flavor compounds in ancient tea plants. The data likely contains measurements of soil organic carbon, nitrate nitrogen, and microbial phyla abundances, as well as tea quality metrics like catechins and amino acids. It was authored by Qianwen Sha and last updated on 2026-04-23.
Use Cases
Modeling the relationship between soil organic carbon and epigallocatechin (EGC) levels in tea leaves.
Analyzing correlations between specific soil bacterial genera (e.g., Streptomyces, Bacillus) and amino acid or gibberellin metabolites.
Investigating how soil nitrate nitrogen and organic matter influence epicatechin concentrations in tea plants.
Strengths
Data includes specific correlation coefficients (e.g., r > 0.8) between soil properties and tea compounds.
Identifies dominant microbial phyla in the soil, such as Chloroflexi and Ascomycota.
Focuses on a defined geographic region with three specific villages (Shahe, Hetou, Luojia).
Limitations
The dataset is very small at 352.4 KB, indicating limited scope.
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
Source
