<p>This data comes from the book "Soil of North Kazakhstan Oblast", Volume 1 of the series "Soil of the Kazakhstan Soviet Socialist Republic" compiled by the Institute of Soil Science of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakhstan Soviet Socialist Republic in 1960. The complete set of books consists of 16 volumes. It was written under the guidance of the Soviet Land Reclamation Movement (began in 1954) and on the basis of soil field surveys organized by the Ministry of Agriculture or local government departments in various states. Experts and scholars from the Soil Research Institute of the Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences collected, sorted and comprehensively studied historical data and field field survey data. The purpose of soil survey is to understand the situation of agricultural land and uncultivated land during the reclamation period. Selecting suitable reclaimed land for planting served the agricultural production and agricultural planning of various regions (prefectures) of Kazakhstan at that time. The book describes in detail the natural geographical conditions, historical evolution of soil research, soil system, and soil natural zoning of North Kazakhstan Oblast. The soil chemical analysis in the book was completed by the laboratory of the Institute of Soil Research, Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In 2017, the Central Asian Ecology and Environment Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences obtained a scanned copy of this book from the Library of the Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences through an international cooperation project. The research team reviewed the resolution, storage format, and whether there is compression, etc. of the PDF scanned files in accordance with domestic archives industry standards. The scanning quality was reviewed, and then the data tables with "soil profile" information were selected from the scanned files, and the pages where these data tables were located were OCR recognized to generate xls format files. The identification results were also inspected for quality; Russian professionals were organized to translate and organize the preface, chapter summaries and soil data table headers in the book, and combined the Chinese header information and content data to form a spreadsheet version of the "1960 Soil Data Set of North Kazakhstan Oblast of Kazakhstan." Soil professionals corrected the header information with professional terms, and the data included 185 profile sampling points. The numerical values, decimal places, and units of measurement have not been modified and have been checked by multiple people many times. </p>
