Adiaha, Monday Sunday from Harvard Dataverse published a dataset on June 23, 2026, auditing soil exchangeable cations and investigating the potential of Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) and Mangifera indica (mango) trees for atmospheric CO2 sequestration into soil biomass. The experiment used an infrared gas analyzer and indicated that these economic trees are effective for CO2 sequestration.
Use Cases
- Modeling soil carbon storage potential based on tree species and soil cation data mentioned in the description
- Comparing the CO2 sequestration efficiency of different economic tree species as described
- Analyzing relationships between soil exchangeable cations and biomass carbon content as investigated in the study
Strengths
- Dataset is hosted on the Harvard Dataverse platform, suggesting institutional backing.
- The description specifies the use of an infrared gas analyzer for measurement.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
