These are the raw data of the paper "Sustaining maize yields and soil carbon following land clearing in the forest–savannah transition zone of West Africa: Results from a 20-year experiment” authored by Rémi Cardinael, Hervé Guibert, Soumaïla T. Kouassi Brédoumy, Jacques Gigou, Kouadio Emmanuel N'Goran, Marc Corbeels.
More specificially, the dataset contains weather data, crop yield, soil properties including soil organic carbon stocks and fractions from a long-term experiment (1971-1992) in Ivory Coast combining 12 treatments, replicated 8 times, of different combinations of mineral nitrogen fertilizer and compost additions.
