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个国家采集的土壤健康测量数据集，将其命名为SoilHealthDB。该数据集包含来自281项已发表研究的5241条数据记录。SoilHealthDB共涵盖42项土壤健康指标与45项背景指标，后者可用于表征气候、海拔、土壤类型等相关影响因子。本数据集的核心目标是支持科研学界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，并诚挚呼吁科研学界贡献自身的实测数据。数据质控与处理所用的R代码可在RScripts处获取。所有数据（含用于澄清说明的元数据）均存储于'SoilHealthDB_V1.xlsx'文件中。
