Dataset describing soil sheeting properties produced by termites sampled in 21 countries from 2015 to 2020

Data coming from 15 published studies are also given, for a total of 49 sites and 21 countries. The dataset include the locations (site names, countries, GPS coordinates, mean annual precipitations ‚MAP‘) and soil properties (electrical conductivity in µS cm-1, pH, C content in %, soil aggregate stability (in % aggregates > 200 µm) and sand, silt and clay contents in %) of termite sheetings and the surrounding topsoil.

The Response ratio (R = Value of termite sheeting / Value oft he bulk soil) is also given for each variable. Files include the whole dataset (n = 249 observations) and the average per species and study site (n = 84 observations).
