Conservation tillage restructures the soil carbon pool and enhances organic carbon stability in Chinese cropland: A national meta-analysis

This dataset compiles the raw and processed data underpinning the meta-analysis entitled “Conservation tillage restructures the soil carbon pool and enhances organic carbon stability in Chinese cropland: A national meta-analysis”. The study synthesizes evidence from peer-reviewed literature to quantify the effects of conservation tillage (CT) practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics across China’s major agricultural regions.
