Soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, and stable carbon isotope values for mineral soil, organic horizons, and root biomass. The dataset covers an afforestation sequence spanning 0 to 130 years on a pasture in Jaun, Switzerland. It was published by ENVIDAT and last updated in 2023.
Use Cases
- Model soil carbon stock changes based on afforestation age (0-130 years)
- Analyze nitrogen dynamics in soil horizons (Oi, Oe, Oa)
- Study stable carbon isotope (13C) values to trace carbon sources
Strengths
- Includes data for three distinct soil components: mineral soil (0-45cm), organic horizons, and root biomass
- Covers a long temporal sequence of afforestation (0-130 years)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
