Decomposition rates, litter traits, and abiotic and biotic soil properties

Data from field experiment on litter decomposition in crop rotation with cover crops (2014-2015), including chemical litter traits (C, N, lignin), mass loss en decomposition rates of winter cover crop litter and standard substrates (filter paper, bamboo, green tea, rooibos tea). Data presented by litterbag and by plot. Soil properties include: mineral N, potential N mineralisation, soil organic matter, soil pH, and also concentrations of PLFA markers and ergosterol. Daily averages of soil temperature and moisture present for limited number of plots. Names of cover crops abbreviated as follows: Lolium perenne (Lope), Trifolium repense (Trre), Raphanus sativus (Rasa), Vicia sativa (Visa). Main crops: Avena sativa (Avsa), Cichorium endivia (Cien).本数据集包含2014-2015年覆盖作物轮作系统枯落物分解田间试验的相关数据，具体包括化学枯落物性状指标（碳、氮、木质素含量）、冬季覆盖作物枯落物与标准底物（滤纸、竹材、绿茶、路易波士茶）的质量损失率及分解速率。数据按枯落物袋（litterbag）与样方两种单元进行整理呈现。土壤属性指标涵盖矿质氮、潜在氮矿化潜力、土壤有机质、土壤pH值，以及磷脂脂肪酸（PLFA）标记物浓度与麦角固醇含量。仅部分样方提供了土壤温度与土壤湿度的日平均数据。覆盖作物的缩写对应关系如下：多年生黑麦草（Lolium perenne，Lope）、白三叶（Trifolium repense，Trre）、萝卜（Raphanus sativus，Rasa）、箭舌豌豆（Vicia sativa，Visa）。主栽作物分别为：燕麦（Avena sativa，Avsa）、菊苣（Cichorium endivia，Cien）。
