Datasets for the article "Greenhouse Gas Fluxes from Selected Soil Fertility Management Practices in Humic Nitisols of Upper Eastern Kenya"

The datasets were collected from experimental sites in Kangutu Primary School Farm, Tharaka-Nithi County, Kenya, over two consecutive cropping seasons (one year). The study aimed to assess the effects of different soil fertility inputs on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Treatments studied were: inorganic fertilizer (Mf), maize residue with inorganic fertilizer (RMf), maize residue with inorganic fertilizer and goat manure (RMfM), maize residue with Tithonia diversifolia and goat manure (RTiM), and a control (CtC). Fluxes were measured weekly to biweekly using static chambers over one year. These data facilitate assessments of agricultural practices for optimizing yield and mitigating climate change impacts.
