The Impact of Soil Sieving on the Temperature Sensitivity of Microbial Decomposition of Forest Soil Organic Matter in the Northeast Tibetan Plateau

This dataset supports a study on the influence of forest soil structure on the temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil respiration in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. It includes data from natural and planted forests in the Qilian Mountains and Gannan Plateau regions. The dataset comprises two CSV files: (1) Soil physicochemical properties, including aggregate stability indices (MWD), porosity, and carbon/nitrogen contents; and (2) Soil respiration rates measured during laboratory incubation (5-35°C), along with calculated Q10 values. For detailed variable definitions and methodological notes, please refer to the "ReadMe.txt" file included in the file list.
