Dataset spreadsheet collection of soil carbon content measurements from 16 long-term research plots at the ASU Polytechnic Arboretum. These measurements will be taken annually for a ten-year period involving about 1,300 students in Cynthia Sagers's Biology 182 class. The project seeks to beautify the botanical walk while working towards ASU’s sustainability and carbon neutrality goals.

Additional files may contain research from student projects related to the arboretum, including soil pH and plant biodiversity.

Funded by the ASU Sustainability Initiatives Revolving Fund (SIRF), which invests in projects that foster and enable sustainability efforts and provide an economic return on investment.
