Dynamic Soil Properties for Soil Health projects-v2

The current version-2 of this project expands and updates the previous version-1 (https://doi.org/10.15482/USDA.ADC/1524455), by adding additional variables to the laboratory datasets and three other datasets representing the management systems, pedons description and soil health metrics assessed by KSSL.
This represents a major update on 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.

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.
