SoilHealthDB_V1.xlsx

Here, we collected, extracted, and integrated a database of soil health measurements conducted in the field from sites found across the globe. The database, named <i>SoilHealthDB</i>, currently focuses on four main conservation management methods: cover crops, no-tillage, agro-forestry systems, and organic farming. The database includes 5,241 data entries from 281 published studies. These studies represent 324 geographic sites (i.e., locations with unique latitudes and longitudes) in 41 countries around the world. The <i>SoilHealthDB</i> includes 42 soil health indicators and 45 background indicators that describe factors such as climate, elevation, and soil type. A primary goal of this effort is to enable the research community to perform comprehensive analyses, e.g., meta-analyses, of soil health changes related to cropland conservation management. The database also provides a common framework for sharing soil health, and the scientific research community is encouraged to contribute their own measurements.

本研究收集、提取并整合了全球各地野外实测的土壤健康数据，构建了名为SoilHealthDB（土壤健康数据库）的数据库。该数据库目前聚焦四大核心农田保护性管理模式：覆盖作物、免耕法、农林业系统与有机农业。本数据库共收录来自281项已发表研究的5241条数据条目，这些研究覆盖全球41个国家的324个地理点位（即拥有唯一经纬度的监测位点）。SoilHealthDB（土壤健康数据库）包含42项土壤健康指标与45项背景指标，可用于表征气候、海拔与土壤类型等相关影响因子。本项目的核心目标之一，是为科研共同体开展与农田保护性管理相关的土壤健康变化综合分析（如元分析）提供支撑。同时，该数据库还搭建了土壤健康数据共享的统一框架，并诚挚呼吁全球科研群体贡献自身实测数据。
