%X This dataset is derived from the Xinjiang Soil Species Compendium (1993), edited by the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Department of Agriculture and published by Xinjiang Science, Technology, and Health Publishing House. As one of the key outcomes of Xinjiang’s Second National Soil Survey, the compendium systematically consolidates detailed information on 344 soil species. For enhanced accessibility and digital utility, the dataset organizes data into five Excel sheets linked by Soil Species ID and Name:（1）Soil Classification: Attributes include Soil Species ID, Soil Species Name (Second Survey), Soil Order Code/Name, Soil Class Code/Name, Subclass Code/Name, Soil Genus Name, and Subclass Name (2009).（2）Basic Soil Species Information: Attributes cover distribution regions, landforms, area, land use, parent material, profile configuration, key properties, and productivity summaries.（3）Typical Profile Landscape: Attributes include sampling location, geographic coordinates, topography, elevation, parent material, natural vegetation, land use, mean annual temperature (°C), annual precipitation (mm), ≥10°C accumulated temperature (°C), ≥0°C accumulated temperature (°C), and frost-free period (days).（4）Typical Profile Horizon Data: Attributes detail horizon name/code/sequence, thickness (cm), depth range (cm), color, texture, structure, compactness, and additional remarks.（5）Typical Profile Physicochemical Properties: Attributes encompass particle size distribution (gravel >2 mm, sand 2–0.02 mm, silt 0.02–0.002 mm, clay ＜0.002 mm), texture, organic matter (%), total N/P/K (%), available P/K (mg/kg), water-extracted pH, CaCO₃ (%), and cation exchange capacity (CEC).
