A global database of land management, land-use change and climate change effects on soil organic carbon

This dataset comprises data from a systematic review done after a comprehensive literature search using Scopus, Web of Science, Ovid publisher and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed meta-analyses and systematic reviews up to early 2020 that reported on soil organic carbon. This global database compiles the results of 13,632 primary studies from 217 meta-analyses, and more than 100 000 paired comparisons. We report a total of 15,983 effect sizes, 6,541 of them related to SOC, and 9,442 of them related to other associated soil, plant or atmosphere parameters. Each effect-size is precisely described, including measures of heterogeneity, precise type of intervention and outcome associated to ease its interpretation. We also provide a precise assessment of the quality of the meta-analyses. Finally, we also document the geographic origin of the primary studies. <br><br> Our database represents, to our knowledge the widest and most rigorous analysis of available data on the subject. This database can help understanding drivers of SOC sequestration, associated co-benefits and possible drawbacks, as well as guiding future global climate policies. It can provide robust guidance to ongoing debated and serve as a basis in international panels such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
