Rice Productivity and Soil Fertility Data from Biochar and Microbial Inoculant Experiments

880.6 KB of data from pot and field experiments on rice cultivar Nanjing 9108, authored by Qiang Zhang and last updated in April 2026. The dataset likely contains measurements of rice yield, Nitrogen Partial Factor Productivity (NPFP), and soil bacterial community data from treatments with varying nitrogen reduction levels combined with biochar and microbial inoculants.

Use Cases

• Modeling rice yield response based on nitrogen reduction levels and soil amendment treatments.
• Analyzing soil bacterial community shifts based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing data.
• Evaluating the relationship between microbial functional genes and soil nutrient availability.
• Identifying optimal nitrogen reduction thresholds for sustainable rice intensification.

Strengths

• Includes specific yield increase percentages (e.g., 10.4-11.7%) and NPFP improvements (e.g., 28.6-30.0%) for different treatments.
• Contains results from both pot and field experiments, providing controlled and real-world context.
• Data is associated with a detailed scientific hypothesis and structural equation modeling results (χ²/df = 1.13, RMSEA = 0.042, CFI = 0.961).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is relatively small (880.6 KB), indicating limited scope.
