Post-Fire Soil Nutrient Levels in Kaubru Hills, Monthly 2010-2011

Monthly soil samples from April 2010 to March 2011 measure nutrient levels in burned and unburned areas of the Kaubru Hills, Manipur. The dataset includes available zinc, soil organic carbon, potassium, phosphorous, copper, manganese, iron, and NH4+-N across three soil depth layers (0-5 cm, 5-10 cm, 10-15 cm). It was authored by Alice Silthou and shared via paperswithcode.

Use Cases

• Modeling the temporal recovery of soil nutrients after a fire based on monthly sampling intervals.
• Comparing the concentration of micronutrients like zinc, copper, manganese, and iron between burned and unburned areas.
• Analyzing the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon and macronutrients like potassium and phosphorous across three depth layers.
• Assessing the impact of fire on ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) availability in soil over a one-year period.

Strengths

• Data collection covers a full annual cycle with monthly samples from April 2010 to March 2011.
• Measurements are taken for eight distinct soil nutrients and compounds across three specific soil depth intervals.
• Includes a controlled comparison between burned and unburned areas following a forest fire.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
