This dataset contains data files for multiple measurements of sample biogeochemistry and function collected for the Soils SFA Chitin Decomposition project in task 2.2. Samples were generated from soil incubated under different moisture levels, with and without chitin. Each file refers to the preprocessed data collected. File 1 "chitin" is for HPLC measured chitin from each sample. File 2 "enzyme_kinetics" measures degradation of substrate over time for all samples. File 3 "extracellular_enzyme_assays" records the level of activity for several enzyme assays. File 4 "respiration" measures CO2 production daily for the course of the incubation. File 5 "soil_biogeochemistry" contains the microbial biomass and salt extractable measurements for carbon and nitrogen.
