Dominant Drivers of Soil Multifunctionality Change: Interactions Among Soil, Plants, and the Atmosphere

This study provides two integrated datasets. The first is the data dataset, which compiles detailed observations from different soil depths in alluvial fan areas, covering multiple soil nutrients, core indicators of soil multifunctionality (SMF), and vegetation community information. The second is the response ratio dataset, derived from response ratio calculations, which reflects the differences in SMF and key nutrient contents among plant communities relative to the overall mean level. Together, these datasets offer a solid foundation for exploring the complex characteristics and underlying mechanisms of soil ecosystems under different vegetation communities.
