Soil Microbial Diversity Data from a Partitioned Greenhouse Experiment

A partitioned plastic greenhouse experiment investigated the effects of microbial inoculants on soil communities. The dataset, 22.0 KB in size, was created by Jinyu Zhao and last updated on 2026-04-09. It compares three treatments—Chlorella sorokiniana inoculation, a Bacillus combination inoculation, and a water control—applied via root irrigation at each tomato growth stage.

Use Cases

• Compare the effects of different microbial inoculants on soil communities based on the described experimental treatments.
• Analyze shifts in microbial diversity associated with specific tomato growth stages based on the described application timing.
• Model the relationship between bio-inoculant application and soil microbiome composition based on the described experimental setup.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• Experimental design is clearly described with three distinct treatment groups.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 22.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
