Soil Carbon and Iron Measurements from Three Land Uses Across Kansas

20 sites were sampled in 2019 for soil organic carbon and acid-soluble iron across three land uses in Kansas. The dataset was authored by Terry Loecke and is shared as a 13.2 KB CSV file under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling soil organic carbon stocks based on land use type.
• Analyzing relationships between acid-soluble iron and soil carbon across different land uses.
• Comparing soil biogeochemical properties across agricultural, grassland, or other land uses in Kansas.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly tied to 20 specific sampling sites.
• Includes measurements for two distinct soil properties: SOC and acid-soluble iron.
• Covers three different land use types for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 13.2 KB file size indicates a very small dataset with limited scope.
