This experiment provides basic data for the study of the causes, processes and mechanisms of natural grassland degradation. Attribute information includes: bulk density, water content, pH value, organic carbon content, clay content, powder content, sand content, total carbon, total nitrogen and carbon nitrogen ratio. Unit weight: the weight per unit volume is called unit weight, and the formula is γ= G / V (n / m3), unit weight is equal to the product of density and gravitational acceleration, i.e γ=ρ g。 Moisture content: the moisture contained in 100g dried soil. PH value: soil pH. Organic carbon content: the content of organic C in soil. Clay content: determined by laser particle size method. Powder content: determined by laser particle size method. Sand content: determined by laser particle size method. Total carbon: the total amount of carbon in the soil. Total nitrogen: the total amount of nitrogen in the soil. Carbon nitrogen ratio: total carbon in soil / total nitrogen in soil.
