Data on the temporal changes in soil properties and microbiome composition after a jet-fuel contamination during the pot and field experiments

The soil response to a jet-fuel contamination is uncertain. In this article, original data on the influence of a jet-fuel spillage on the topsoil properties are presented. The data set is obtained during a one-year long pot and field experi-ments with Dystric Arenosols, Fibric Histosols and Albic Luvi-sols. Kerosene loads were 1, 5, 10, 25 and 100 g/kg. The data set includes information about temporal changes in kerosene concentration; physicochemical properties, such as pH, mois-ture, cation exchange capacity, content of soil organic mat-ter, available P and K, exchangeable NH4 +, and water-soluble NO3 -; and biological properties, such as biological consump-tion of oxygen, and cellulolytic activity. Also, we provide sequencing data on variable regions of 16S ribosomal RNA of microbial communities from the respective soil samples.(c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
