Monthly Global Soil Respiration Database (MGRsD)

MGRsD is a database of collected soil respiration measurements from published studies at a global scale. The time interval of soil respiration is monthly. Only publications reported monthly, daily or diurnal soil respiration were included in this database, publication only reported yearly or seasonal soil respiration were excluded in this database. We make this database publicly available, intended to serve as a resource for scientific analysis and modeling. there are four files in the database.

Table1: MGRsD, which holds a global monthly interval soil respiration and together with other 38 other ancillary measurements.

Tables 2: Descriptions of database fields included for the MGRsD database’s main data file (Table 1).

Table 3: The list publications that were digitized to generate MGRsD.

How to contribute:
We tried our best to collect as much publication as possible, but MGRsD still does not collect many sites at South hemisphere and Russia. There is a substantial publication in the Russian literature not currently in MGRsD database. We also assume there are many publications in French, Spanish and Portuguese, those data may cover study areas at south hemisphere, where our MGRsD have limited samples. If you find any soil respiration related publications which reported monthly, daily or diurnal soil respiration, and not collected by MGRsD, it will be great if you can share with us. You can upload the paper through this website or sent it to: [e-mail].

MGRsD（月度全球土壤呼吸数据库，Monthly Global Soil Respiration Database）是一个从全球范围内已发表研究中收集土壤呼吸测量数据的数据库。该数据库收录的土壤呼吸数据时间间隔为月度。仅纳入报道了月度、单日或昼夜尺度土壤呼吸的研究文献，仅报道年度或季节尺度土壤呼吸的文献均被排除。我们将该数据库公开共享，旨在为科学分析与建模提供数据支撑。本数据库包含四个文件：
表1：MGRsD主数据表，收录全球范围内的月度土壤呼吸数据，同时附带38项辅助测量指标。
表2：对MGRsD主数据表（表1）所包含的数据库字段进行详细说明。
表3：为构建MGRsD所完成数字化处理的文献列表。

数据贡献渠道：
我们已尽力收集相关研究文献，但MGRsD目前仍缺失南半球与俄罗斯的大量站点数据。俄语文献中存在大量未被本数据库收录的相关研究。此外，法语、西班牙语与葡萄牙语文献中也可能包含南半球区域的土壤呼吸数据，而本数据库在该区域的样本较为有限。若您发现任何报道了月度、单日或昼夜尺度土壤呼吸且未被MGRsD收录的相关文献，欢迎与我们分享。您可通过本网站上传文献，或发送至邮箱：[e-mail]。
