Soil Organic Carbon Data from Arid Valleys in Southwest China

Dan Yang provides original data for a manuscript on soil organic carbon fractions and pool stability. The dataset supports research on the effects of land-use conversion in the arid valleys of Southwest China. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze relationships between land-use type and soil organic carbon fractions.
• Model soil carbon pool stability using soil property and environmental data.
• Compare soil carbon metrics across different geographic locations within the arid valleys.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Dataset is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed research manuscript.

Limitations

• The number of rows, columns, and sample size are unknown.
• Specific data fields and measurement methods are not detailed.
