Global Wetland Soil Carbon Data with Phosphorus Limitation Analysis

Global wetland data examines the relationship between microbial phosphorus limitation and soil carbon storage. The dataset includes Extended Data Figures 1-5 and Supporting Information Tables 1-3, created by Wenliang Ju and last updated in April 2026. It provides analysis scripts in R for reproducibility.

Use Cases

• Analyze global patterns of soil carbon storage using data from Extended Data Figures and Supporting Tables.
• Model microbial phosphorus limitation's impact on carbon sequestration using the provided R scripts.
• Validate biogeochemical hypotheses by examining the relationships between variables in the supporting information tables.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for reuse and redistribution.
• Includes reproducible R scripts for analysis, enhancing methodological transparency.
• Covers a global scope of wetland ecosystems, as indicated by the title.

Limitations

• The dataset is small at 2.2 MB, limiting the volume of raw observational data.
• Specific row counts, column names, and sample data are unavailable, hindering initial assessment.
• The temporal and precise geographic coverage of the underlying data is not specified.
