Simulation of heterotrophic respiration of incubated soil samples based on the Introductory Carbon Balance Model (ICBM).

The dataset consists of results from a series of ICBM model runs based on incubation experiments conducted on soil samples from the Elbe marshes near Hamburg, Northern Germany. These samples were incubated under aerobic conditions for periods ranging from 316 to 465 days. The primary objective was to study carbon cycling and estimate respiration rates across a range of soil organic carbon contents.
