Legacy effects of extreme heat decreased soil microbial carbon use efficiency

This file contains the datasets from four experiments (corresponding to Experiments A–D in the graphical abstract):Experiment A includes 14C-CO2 emissions measured at each sampling point and the amount of 14C remaining in the soil at the end of the experiment.Experiment B includes 14C-CO2 emissions measured at each sampling point, microbial community data collected at the end of the experiment, and soil biochemical property data.Experiment C includes 14C-CO2 emissions measured at each sampling point and the amount of 14C remaining in the soil at the end of the experiment.Experiment D includes 14C-CO2 emissions measured at each sampling point.
