Soil carbon storage data of grassland in Qinghai Tibet Plateau (2009)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

1) Data content

It includes the observation year, latitude and longitude, altitude, ecosystem type and soil layer (soc0-100 (kgcm-2); 0-100 represents soil layer), underground biomass content.

2) Data sources

This part of the data is obtained from the literature, specific literature sources refer to the documentation.

3) Data quality description

The data cover a wide range, including comprehensive indicators, showing the content of soil organic carbon under different soil layers, with high integrity and accuracy, which can meet the estimation of soil carbon storage of grassland in Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

4) Data application achievements and Prospects

It provides basic data for predicting the carbon source sink effect of soil and realizing the sustainable development of ecosystem carbon in the future.
