Carbon action MULTA Finnish carbon sequestration experimental field dataset 2019

This dataset includes the first year observations of the Finnish Carbon Action carbon sequestration experiment. In the experiment c.a. 100 farms test carbon farming methods on a test field and an adjacent control plot. 26 of the farms were sampled during 2019 combining field observations and soil sampling. This data will be coupled with satellite imagery, field sensors and carbon cycle modeling to forecast carbon sequestration. Subsequent sampling will track changes in soil carbon stock and soil productivity.

The dataset will be updated annually. New datasets will be published in https://zenodo.org/communities/carbonaction/ .  Includes data on:

soil properties (CEC, pH, OM)

nutrients: P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn, B, Mn (Fe, Al, P-saturation)

physical quality: soil structure (VESS), bulk density, porosity, water holding capacity, infiltration rate

biological properties: earthworm counts, above ground biomass, plant cover (%)
