Dynamic Soil Properties for Soil Health projects

This dataset represents the first dataset from the Dynamic Soil Properties for Soil Health (DSP4SH) initiative. The dataset represents the data gathered, processed, and curated using scientifically based approaches to evaluate dynamic soil properties as soil health metrics.
This dataset comprises of raw data collected from assessment of dynamic soil properties that may change due to agricultural land management.

See also updated and extended version 2: https://doi.org/10.15482/USDA.ADC/1524759. Additional DSP4SH submissions from different locations across the US will be posted on an annual basis.

Intended Use	The dynamic soil properties (DSP) for soil health project, a Science of Soil Health Initiative, seeks to gather, process, and disseminate scientifically rigorous data to meet the need for consistent, replicable, scientifically sound indicators, associated data, and interpretations. Our cooperators collected a standard set of soil health metrics across regions and soils that can be used to assess and monitor how agricultural management practices affect soil health.
Use Limitations	These data were collected from studies conducted at specific location and certain sampling time across soil survey regions and soils. The information on dynamic properties can be linked to other soil survey DSP products but may not be generalized to studies evaluating temporal effect of agricultural management practices on soil health through repeated measures.
