Agronomic Yields - Annual Crops — Main Cropping System Experiment (MCSE)
Data in the KBS LTER core database may not be published without written permission of the lead investigator or project director Full terms of use
Annual crop harvest data for corn, soy and wheat from the Main Cropping System Experiment at the LTER Main Site as collected with commercial sized equipment.
Prior to 2017 the yield was reported from the east half of the plot. In 2017 the protocol was changed to report the yield for the whole plot.
This datatable is part of the MCSE Model input data dataset.
Consolidated dataset for the ARDEN crop modeling effort. This pulls together several useful data tables into one dataset. Further information can be found at https://agmip.github.io/ARDN/
