Abstrakt: Various stakeholders, such as modelers, policy makers, farmers, and environmental regulators need reliable soil bulk density and coarse fragment content data. These two soil parameters are necessary to calculate soil carbon and nutrients stocks, to estimate water availability for plants, or to assess soil compaction. However, measuring these two parameters is labor intensive and time consuming. Therefore, many agricultural and environmental studies often miss these two soil parameters. Here, we provide four datasets, one with bulk density and coarse fragment contents of topsoil and subsoil, measured in two campaigns of the French Soil Quality Monitoring Network (RMQS for its acronym in French), a second one with the average values for bulk density and coarse fragments of the two campaigns at 0-30 cm and 30-50 cm. The third and the fourth ones are the raw data needed to calculate the two first datasets divided by campaign. In addition, the R script for calculating the depth-weighted values per soil layer is provided.
