Abstract
This is a health and safety subset of an enhanced Weathering project executed on ~360 ha of citrus plantation in Brazil. The purpose of the project is to remove carbon durably through the application of locally sourced basaltic rock powder, at an application rate of 20t/ha, whilst restoring degraded soils. The citrus plantation has been divided into control and treatment areas. This data set contains soil, soil porewater, biomass, climatic data, weather data and feedstock data.
Asbestiform and radioactive minerals are not present in the feedstock used in this study (1,2).
