Organic Fertilizer Effects on Soil Carbon and Microbes from 1311 Field Observations

1311 paired field observations compiled by Gehao Zhang examine the response of soil organic carbon and microorganisms to organic fertilizers. The dataset is available as an XLSX file and was last updated in May 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Meta-analysis of soil organic carbon sequestration based on paired field observations.
• Comparative study of microbial community responses to different organic fertilizer types.
• Modeling the relationship between organic fertilizer application and soil biodiversity metrics.

Strengths

• Dataset contains 1311 paired observations, providing a substantial basis for meta-analysis.
• Data is structured in a tabular XLSX format, facilitating quantitative analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
