PANGAEA, https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.986497 (dataset in review)
Abstract:
This dataset was assembled through a coordinated field sampling effort that captured detailed soil properties across multiple sampling periods and treatments. Soil samples were systematically collected under specified field blocks and plots over different years, with each sample assigned a unique identifier and classified by treatment type, depth interval, and block location. In addition to the comprehensive soil physicochemical properties—such as pH, electrical conductivity, total carbon, total nitrogen, aggregate stability, nutrient concentrations (e.g., nitrogen species, phosphorus), and available micronutrients, the dataset incorporates complementary runoff measurements and bulk density assessments. The integration of runoff data provides insights into water movement over or through the soil surface, while bulk density information serves as a proxy for soil compaction and porosity.
The dataset is saved in a long-format file with multiple columns capturing not only the measured values but also experimental details such as block number, plot number, treatment designation, and sampling depth. The soil data collection process involved standard methodologies for in situ measurements and laboratory analyses, ensuring that each point of data has been recorded with the precision and accuracy required for agricultural, environmental, and hydrological research. Metadata accompanying the dataset describes the measurement units used for soil property determination, runoff quantification, and bulk density evaluation.
This rich, multi-dimensional dataset has significant potential for reuse, particularly for studies evaluating the effects of different management practices on soil physical and chemical properties, hydrological responses, and related ecosystem functions. Researchers can further explore interrelated dynamics between soil structure, nutrient cycling, and water movement across diverse treatments and time scales. The standardized and detailed format of the dataset also makes it a useful resource for benchmarking models or conducting statistical assessments in soil science research and land management practice evaluations.
