SoilHealthDB

Here, we compiled data from a set of soil health measurements collected across 41 countries around the world, named SoilHealthDB, which includes 5,241 data entries from 281 published studies. The SoilHealthDB includes 42 soil health indicators and 45 background indicators that describe factors such as climate, elevation, and soil type. A primary goal of SoilHealthDB is to enable the research community to perform comprehensive analyses, e.g., meta-analyses, of soil health changes related to cropland conservation management. The database also provides a common framework for sharing soil health, and the scientific research community is encouraged to contribute their own measurements. R code for quality checking and data processing are available at RScripts. All data (including meta data for clerification) were stored in 'SoilHealthDB_V1.xlsx'.

本研究整合了全球41个国家采集的一系列土壤健康实测数据，构建了名为SoilHealthDB的数据库。该数据库涵盖来自281项已发表研究的5241条数据条目。SoilHealthDB共包含42项土壤健康指标与45项背景指标，其中背景指标用于描述气候、海拔、土壤类型等相关因素。本数据库的核心目标之一是助力科研群体开展针对农田保育管理相关土壤健康变化的全面分析，例如元分析(meta-analyses)。该数据库同时搭建了土壤健康数据共享的通用框架，并诚挚邀请科研学界贡献其自有实测数据。用于数据质量校验与处理的R代码可于RScripts处获取。所有数据（含用于说明的元数据）均存储于"SoilHealthDB_V1.xlsx"文件中。
