%X We have constructed a global soil organic carbon mineralization dataset aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the response of soil organic carbon decomposition to temperature, and evaluating and improving relevant predictions in current Earth system models. This dataset integrates 721 types of soil from 191 studies, containing nearly 22000 data points and covering various cultivation conditions from -10 ° C to 60 ° C.  The samples mainly come from China, Europe, and the United States, with a severe lack of representatives from key regions such as Africa and high latitudes; 84% of the samples are concentrated in the surface soil of 0-30 centimeters, ignoring the deep soil that stores a large amount of carbon; In addition, there is a significant difference between the cultivation temperature of most experiments and the actual environmental temperature of the sampling points, which may affect the accuracy of temperature sensitivity estimation.
