Dryland soil restoration meta-analysis data

<p>This dataset was used to conduct a meta-analysis on soil restoration in global drylands. It includes data collected from published literature on experiments of soil-based restoration in dryland environments. Predictor variables included in this dataset are site aridity and percent soil sand, type of restoration treatment used, whether seeding or revegetating was done, and time since restoration. Response variables include the effect of soil restoration on aggregate stability, bulk density, volumetric water content, soil organic carbon, soil nitrogen, mycorrhizal colonization, and basal respiration. The calculated effect size on each of these variables is represented as the log response ratio. </p>
