Soil profiles provide organic carbon and nitrogen measurements for the Amazon Basin region, created as a subset of a global dataset. The data were compiled from field surveys conducted between 1965 and 1984 and from existing soil literature, with bulk density estimated via regression for some samples. This dataset supports the Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA), a NASA-sponsored international research initiative.
