Abstract

Shanghai Yangtze River Delta Ecology & Environmental Change and Control Research Station is one of the four national field scientific observation and research stations for urban ecosystems approved in 2021. Since 2016, the Station has carried out long-term soil monitoring. This dataset collects the basic soil properties of 12 long-term monitoring plots in different soil layers (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-40 cm) on different urban-rural gradients at the Station from 2016 to 2021, including pH value, bulk density, total carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, available phosphorus, available potassium, total zinc, total copper, total lead and total chromium. Moreover, the dataset includes supplementary information such as plot details, soil sampling and preservation procedures, and a table outlining the analysis methods employed. The dataset can be provided as data basis for the study of soil carbon sinks, soil nutrient changes, and heavy metal pollution in megacities.
