A seventeen-year soil analysis dataset for ecosystem management

The Sol_Run dataset compiles seventeen years (2008-2024) of soil analysis data for Reunion Island. It includes 266,304 records from 24,857 unique soil samples, detailing numerous chemical and physical properties such as pH, cation exchange capacity, and nutrient content. These were analyzed using standardized physicochemical methods. Sol_Run supports an agronomic decision-support tool, providing specific recommendations for liming and fertilization. It enables monitoring of long-term soil degradation trends, like acidification, and informs local public policies for soil management. With its high sampling density and temporal repetition, Sol_Run offers local-scale information, complementing broader global datasets, and aiding the development and validation of soil modeling tools.
