Kahuzi Biega National Park's Vegetation and soil parameters data

The first file named as "Vegetation database_Merlin.csv" presents the vegetation structure data (Species Richness, DBH= Diameter at breast height, BA=Basal area) studied in 6 plots of 0.5ha each (3 in the Secondary Forest and 3 in the Transitional forest) identified in the high altitude zone of the Kahuzi Biega National Park.The second file named as "Soil database_Merlin" presents the soil physicochemical data (SOC stocks=Soil organic carbon stocks, SOC=Soil organic carbon, CE=Coarse element, BD= Bulk density, C/N=Carbon-Nitrogen ratio, TN= Total nitrogen, P= phosphorous, K=Potassium, C/clay=Carbon-Clay ratio) obtained from 5 land uses identified at the edge of the Kahuzi Biega National Park: transitional forest (TF), secondary forest (SF), forest plantations (FP), forest fallows (FF), and cultivated lands (CL). These results were obtained over two periods of time, which are 2018 and 2024.
