Soil Organic Carbon Biomineralization and CO2 Emission Data from Freeze-Thaw Experiments

Experimental data supporting research on how soil aggregate fractionation affects organic carbon biomineralization and CO2 emissions in Mollisols during freeze-thaw cycles. The dataset is 34.4 KB in size, authored by Wenjuan Zou, and was last updated on March 22, 2026. It is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.

Use Cases

• Modeling CO2 emission rates from soil based on experimental conditions described in the supporting publication.
• Analyzing the relationship between soil aggregate fractionation and organic carbon biomineralization.
• Studying the impact of freeze-thaw cycles on soil carbon dynamics in Mollisol ecosystems.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a peer-reviewed publication in CATENA, providing a clear research context.
• The dataset is small (34.4 KB), making it quick to download and inspect.
• It is openly available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The dataset's small size (34.4 KB) suggests a limited experimental scope.
