Global Natural and Urban Soil Organic Carbon Stock Database

This dataset is used to present the meta-analysis results in Chien and Krumins’s paper (2022) titled “Natural versus urban global soil organic carbon stocks: A meta-analysis” in the journal of Science of The Total Environment . The paper mainly compares the soil organic carbon stocks between natural and urban habitats, and the comparison is also exhibited by varied climatic zones, vegetation types, and Human Footprint values (an unitless indicator, ranging from 0–50, to indicate the extent of human impact on land). The dataset is published here in open-access for reference.
