Datasets and scripts supporting the paper "Increased but not pristine soil organic carbon stocks in restored ecosystems", DOI : 10.1038/s41467-025-55980-1. The dataset and scripts are used to perform a second-order meta-analysis on the potential of ecosystem restoration to recover soil organic carbon (SOC) in degraded areas. Restored ecosystems are systematically compared with degraded land to analyze SOC recovery, and with pristine ecosystems to assess whether SOC content can achieve that of pristine areas. The analysis was performed for several ecosystem types and tested the influence of pre-restoration land use and restoration strategy on SOC change.
