We used a global dataset to examine patterns and drivers of fungal necromass C (FNC), bacterial necromass C (BNC), and their ratio across agricultural and natural ecosystems. FNC contributed about twice as much as BNC to soil organic carbon (SOC) in both systems, with higher contributions overall in agricultural soils. Soil C/N and clay content mainly drove FNC and BNC contributions, while elevation primarily influenced the FNC/BNC ratio.

The China New-type Power Systems Meteorological (CNPS-Met) dataset covers mainland China with a daily resolution and a 25 km grid. It includes eight meteorological variables and eleven high-impact weather events related to power generation, grid transmission, and electricity demand. CNPS-Met outperforms other existing datasets in accuracy for most meteorological variables. We also quantified the frequency hotspots and intensity extremes of high-impact weather events.

The TephAta database collects information on volcanic ash layers from the Atacama Desert, including their physical properties, geochemical composition, and age. The dataset provides a basis for identifying the same volcanic ash layers in different sediment deposits making it possible to link and date sediments It also supports studying how ash spread and understanding the region’s volcanic past.
