Research surrounding soil microbial communities has rapidly increasedin recent decades, and substantial data relating to phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) andpotential enzyme activity have been collected and analysed. However, studies have mostlybeen restricted to local and regional scales, and their accuracy and usefulness are limitedby the extent of accessible data. Here we aim to improve data availability by collating aglobal database of soil PLFA and potential enzyme activity measurements from 12,258georeferenced samples located across all continents, 5.1% of which have not previouslybeen published. The database contains data relating to 113 PLFAs and 26 enzyme activities,and includes metadata such as sampling date, sample depth, and soil pH, total carbon, andtotal nitrogen. This database will help researchers in conducting both global- and local-scalestudies to better understand soil microbial biomass and function.
