Dataset of Carbon Pulse Triggered by Post-Drought Rewetting: A Global Meta-Analysis of the Birch Effect on Soil Respiration in Croplands

This dataset contains all raw and processed data used in the meta-analysis titled "Carbon Pulse Triggered by Post-Drought Rewetting: A Global Meta-Analysis of the Birch Effect on Soil Respiration in Croplands".It includes:1. Full metadata of included studies2. Raw and effect size data of soil respiration responses to post-drought rewetting (Birch effect)3. Subgroup analysis datasets4. The R code used for meta-analysis and visualization.The dataset is designed to support reproducibility of the published meta-analysis, as well as further research on soil carbon dynamics and the Birch effect in agricultural ecosystems.
