We pre-incubated soils at 5 °C, 15 °C or 26 °C to acclimatise the microbial communities to different thermal regimes for 60 days before measuring potential activities of β-glucosidase and chitinase (extracellular enzymes), glucose-induced respiration (intracellular enzymes), and basal respiration at a range of assay temperatures (5 °C, 15 °C, 26 °C, 37 °C, and 45 °C). There are four datasets provided here: Soil properties measured after the pre-incubation (pH, C, N, C/N ratio, and microbial biomass C) β-glucosidase potential activity (pNP µg g dry soil h-1) Chitinase potential activity (pNP µg g dry soil h-1) CO2 flux (respiration) (mg C g soil h-1)
