Journal Article
Urban Soil Quality Assessment—A Comprehensive Case Study Dataset of Urban Garden Soils
2018
Overview
Urban soils are a mixture of natural soil-forming factors and anthropogenic activities (Shuster and Dadio, 2018). [...]they require an adapted set of indicators for a soil quality assessment. Furthermore, sample plots were assigned one of three garden habitat types: vegetable beds (i.e., annual vegetable plants), flower beds and berry cultivations (i.e., perennial flowers, roses, and berry shrubs), and lawn (i.e., meadows and turf). [...]our study may help to analyze the effect of garden management or urbanization on soil quality (see Tresch et al., 2018) or provide data for modeling of carbon dynamics in urban soils or other soil based ecosystem services.
