Fertilization-dependent priming effects drive carbon loss under polyethylene microplastic pollution in agricultural soils

This dataset contains measurements of soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO₃⁻-N), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN), and δ¹³C content in both soil and microplastics.

All data are presented in a single Excel file (.xlsx) in tabular format. The dataset was generated from controlled experimental treatments designed to evaluate the priming effects of non-degradable microplastics under different fertilization conditions.

The data were obtained through experimental validation and do not involve any ethical or personal information. All identifying or sensitive information has been removed.

The dataset is intended to support research on soil carbon–nitrogen cycling and the effects of microplastic pollution in agroecosystems. No code or software scripts are included.
