SoilHealthDB

Here, we compiled data from a set of soil health measurements collected across 41 countries around the world, named SoilHealthDB, which includes 5,241 data entries from 281 published studies. The SoilHealthDB includes 42 soil health indicators and 45 background indicators that describe factors such as climate, elevation, and soil type. A primary goal of SoilHealthDB 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. R code for quality checking and data processing are available at RScripts. All data (including meta data for clerification) were stored in 'SoilHealthDB_V1.xlsx'.

本研究收集了全球41个国家的土壤健康实测数据，构建了名为SoilHealthDB的数据集，该数据集涵盖来自281项已发表研究的5241条数据条目。SoilHealthDB共包含42项土壤健康指标与45项背景指标，后者用于描述气候、海拔、土壤类型等相关影响因素。该数据集的核心目标是助力科研界开展与农田保育管理相关的土壤健康变化综合分析（如元分析）。同时，本数据集搭建了土壤健康数据共享的通用框架，并诚挚呼吁科研界同仁贡献自身实测数据。用于数据质量核查与处理的R代码可于RScripts中获取。所有数据（含用于补充说明的元数据）均存储于'SoilHealthDB_V1.xlsx'文件中。
