Global Natural and Urban Soil Organic Carbon Stock Database

This dataset is used to present the meta-analysis results in Chien and Krumins’s paper (2022) titled “Natural versus urban global soil organic carbon stocks: A meta-analysis” in the journal of Science of The Total Environment . The paper mainly compares the soil organic carbon stocks between natural and urban habitats, and the comparison is also exhibited by varied climatic zones, vegetation types, and Human Footprint values (an unitless indicator, ranging from 0–50, to indicate the extent of human impact on land). The dataset is published here in open-access for reference.

本数据集用于呈现Chien与Krumins于2022年发表在《Science of The Total Environment》期刊上、题为《Natural versus urban global soil organic carbon stocks: A meta-analysis》的论文中的元分析结果。该论文主要对比了自然栖息地与城市栖息地之间的土壤有机碳储量，并按不同气候区、植被类型及人类足迹值（Human Footprint values，一种无量纲指标，范围为0–50，用于指示人类对土地的影响程度）展示了上述对比结果。本数据集在此以开放获取形式发布，以供参考。
