Description

We present a database containing over 50 soil-microbial parameters from eight long-term European experiments where specific soil management strategies are compared. Intact topsoil cores (7 cm diameter, 7 cm height) were collected from LTE participating in the tasks WP3.2 and WP3.3. from the SOMMIT experiment, and incubated under standard conditions in the laboratory. The soil management strategies considered at the eight LTEs ("ACBB Estrées-Mons, France", "Rutzendorf_17, Austria", , "Foggia, Italy", "ULBF-Ljubljana, Slovenia", "Toholampi, Finland", "Senés, Spain", "La Poveda, Spain" and "Grabow 1, Poland") included crop residue management, addition of different types of compost and sludge and biochar addition. All LTEs are referenced according to the LTE Index from https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7598122 . The soil cores were subjected to i) a pre-equilibration phase of five days ("pre.inc"), followed by ii) a drying phase ("DR") of ten days and finally a iii) rewetting (five days, "RW"). A subset of the cores were kept under iv) constantly moist conditions for comparison purposes ("moist"). By the end of the "pre.inc" phase, soil microbial biomass, soil microbial community (phospholipidic fatty acids), enzymatic activities and soil nutrient data were collected. After the "pre.inc" phase, soil fluxes of N2O and CO2 were monitored with an automated system at subdaily temporal resolution. In addition, soil nutrients and microbial biomass data were estimated during at the end of the "DR", "RW" and "moist" phases.  This dataset contributes to a better understanding of the linkages between soil conditions, soil microbes and soil greenhouse gas fluxes as affected by different soil management strategies across European agro-ecosystems. This product is part of the EJP SOIL internal project SOMMIT, and serves as deliverable WP3.4
