Dataset for multi-model comparison and ensemble simulations of canola growth and yield across global sites
type: item
description: This paper describes the dataset that was used to test the reliability of eight crop models in simulating growth and yield of canola in response to sowing dates, nitrogen inputs and climate variability across five countries. The dataset includes four spring cultivars and three winter cultivars across six sites, which represents a diverse range of canola production areas around the world. Model calibration and validation were conducted in the framework of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project for canola (AgMIP-Canola). Field experimental datasets include site characterization, soil profile characterization, initial soil conditions (soil water and mineral nitrogen contents), in-season and end-season crop measurements (phenology, LAI, biomass, and nitrogen content in leaves, stems and pods, some with seed oil content), and daily weather data. Simulation datasets include the simulation results generated by ten individual model frameworks (eight crop models, APSIM and DSSAT respectively by two groups) for the experimental periods, and scenario simulations using 30 years historical weather data (1981 – 2010) together with a full multi-factorial combinations of temperature (-3, 0, +3, +6, +9 oC), rainfall (-25%, -10%, 0, +10%, +25%), CO2 concentrations (360, 450, 540, 630, 720 ppm) and nitrogen input rates (0, +25%, +50%, +100%, +150%).

Agronomic dataset on potato growth and yield in the Netherlands
type: item
description: Data was collected at two field locations in the Netherlands: on the clayey soils in Lelystad and the sandy soils of Vredepeel during 2019 and 2020. The original aim of this dataset was to calibrate and evaluate crop growth models for estimating potential, water-limited and nitrogen-limited yield levels for modern potato cultivars. Therefore, treatments include different cultivars, irrigation regimes, nitrogen fertilization, and light interception. During the two seasons extensive data was collected either passively, via non-destructive or via destructive measurements. Passive measurements consisted of weather and soil moisture data and were taken continuously throughout the season. Non-destructive data was collected on photosynthesis, reflection/light intensity, SPAD chlorophyll values, plant height, crop phenology, and groundwater level roughly every other week throughout the seasons. Destructive measurements were taken on biomass (leaves, stems and tubers), leaf area, NPK content (leaves), and the number of tubers between five and seven times per season. Additionally, during the final harvest data was collected on the tuber size distribution, marketability, and NPK content of the tubers.

Experimental and simulated data for crop and grassland production and carbon-nitrogen fluxes
type: item
description: Multi-year datasets from field experiments and simulations at five agricultural sites in the Northern Hemisphere were developed for three cropland sites in Ottawa (Canada), Grignon (France) and Delhi (India) and two grassland sites at Laqueuille (France) and Easter Bush (UK). The cropland sites have rotations with wheat, triticale, maize, rapeseed, soybean, phacelia and rice, as well as periods of bare fallow. Cattle (Laqueuille) or mixed cattle and sheep (Easter Bush) graze in the two grassland sites. Field data were collected between 2003 and 2012 for three to eight years, including grain yield/above‐ground net primary productivity, nitrous oxide emissions, carbon fluxes (gross primary production, net ecosystem exchange, ecosystem respiration), together with daily weather data (solar radiation, maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation, wind speed, relative humidity, vapour pressure), soil properties, and records of crop and grassland management. Simulated outputs are from 23 models: 11 crop models, eight grassland models and four models simulating both systems.

A daily time-step observed and scenario climate dataset on a European grid for crop modelling applications
type: item
description: This paper describes a daily time-step observed and scenario climate dataset on a European grid with 25 km x 25 km spatial resolution. The dataset was developed for crop modelling applications in the MACSUR project. The dataset covers the period 1980-2010 for observations; this is, for a baseline period of 1981-2010 and the year 1980 for crop model simulations with sowing dates in the autumn. It also covers the periods 2040-2069 and 2070-2099 for 5 Global Climate Models (GCMs) x 2 forcing scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) and 2 GCMs with RCP2.6. The Joint Research Centre's (JRC) Agri4Cast gridded dataset was used for the baseline. The scenarios have been calculated using an enhanced delta change method that applies changes in aspects of temperature and precipitation variability in addition to changes in mean climate.

Winter Wheat Experiments to Optimize Sowing Dates and Densities in a High-Yielding Environment in New Zealand: Field Experiments and AgMIP-Wheat Multi-Model Simulations
type: item
description: This paper describes the data set that was used to test the accuracy of twenty-nine crop models in simulating the effect of changing sowing dates and sowing densities on wheat productivity for a high-yielding environment in New Zealand. The data includes one winter wheat cultivar (Wakanui) grown during six consecutive years, from 2012-2013 to 2017-2018, at two farms located in Leeston and Wakanui in Canterbury, New Zealand. The simulations were carried out in the framework of the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project for wheat (AgMIP-Wheat). Data include local daily weather data, soil profile characteristics and initial conditions, crop measurements at maturity (grain, stem, chaff and leaf dry weight, ear number and grain number, grain unit dry weight), and at stem elongation and anthesis (total above ground dry biomass, leaf number per stem and leaf area index). Several in-season measurements of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (FIPAR) are also available. The crop model simulations include both daily in-season and end-of-season results from twenty-nine wheat models.

Climate and soil input data aggregation effects in crop models
type: item
description: This dataset contains interpolated and aggregated soil and climate data of the region of North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). The data is provided for grids of 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 km resolutions. These data grids represent spatial aggregations of the climate of approximately 1 km resolution and soil data of approximately 300 m resolution raster. The purpose of this data is the use as input for crop models. It thus contains the key relevant soil and climate variables for running crop models. Additionally, the data is specifically designed to analyze effects of scale and resolution in crop models, e.g. data aggregation effects. It has been used for several studies on spatial scales with regard to different scaling approaches, crops, crop models, model output variables, production situations and crop management among others.

A high-yielding traits experiment for modeling potential production of wheat: field experiments and AgMIP-Wheat multi-model simulations
type: item
description: Grain production must increase by 60% in the next four decades to keep up with the expected population growth and food demand. A significant part of this increase must come from the improvement of staple crop grain yield potential. Crop growth simulation models combined with field experiments and crop physiology are powerful tools to quantify the impact of traits and trait combinations on grain yield potential which helps to guide breeding towards the most effective traits and trait combinations for future wheat crosses. The dataset reported here was created to analyze the value of physiological traits identified by the International Wheat Yield Partnership (IWYP) to improve wheat potential in high-yielding environments. This dataset consists of 11 growing seasons at three high-yielding locations in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Ciudad Obregon (Mexico), and Valdivia (Chile) with the spring wheat cultivar Bacanora and a high-yielding genotype selected from a doubled haploid (DH) population developed from the cross between the Bacanora and Weebil cultivars from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). This dataset was used in the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) Wheat Phase 4 to evaluate crop model performance when simulating high-yielding physiological traits and to determine the potential production of wheat using an ensemble of 29 wheat crop models. The field trials were managed for non-stress conditions with full irrigation, fertilizer application, and without biotic stress. Data include local daily weather, soil characteristics and initial soil conditions, cultivar information, and crop measurements (anthesis and maturity dates, total above-ground biomass, final grain yield, yield components, and photosynthetically active radiation interception). Simulations include both daily in-season and end-of-season results for 25 crop variables simulated by 29 wheat crop models.

AgMIP-Wheat multi-model simulations on climate change impact and adaptation for global wheat
type: item
description: The climate change impact and adaptation simulations from the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for wheat provide a unique dataset of multi-model ensemble simulations for 60 representative global locations covering all global wheat mega environments. The multi-model ensemble reported here has been thoroughly benchmarked against a large number of experimental data, including different locations, growing season temperatures, atmospheric CO2 concentration, heat stress scenarios, and their interactions. In this paper, we describe the main characteristics of this global simulation dataset. Detailed cultivar, crop management, and soil datasets were compiled for all locations to drive 32 wheat growth models. The dataset consists of 30-year simulated data including 25 output variables for nine climate scenarios, including Baseline (1980-2010) with 360 or 550 ppm CO2, Baseline +2oC or +4oC with 360 or 550 ppm CO2, a mid-century climate change scenario (RCP8.5, 571 ppm CO2), and 1.5°C (423 ppm CO2) and 2.0oC (487 ppm CO2) warming above the pre-industrial period (HAPPI). This global simulation dataset can be used as a benchmark from a well-tested multi-model ensemble in future analyses of global wheat. Also, resource use efficiency (e.g., for radiation, water, and nitrogen use) and uncertainty analyses under different climate scenarios can be explored at different scales. The DOI for the dataset is 10.5281/zenodo.4027033 (AgMIP-Wheat, 2020), and all the data are available on the data repository of Zenodo (http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4027033). Two scientific publications have been published based on some of these data here.

Cotton Response to CO2, Water, Nitrogen and Plant Density - A Repository of FACE, AgIIS and FISE Experiment Data
type: item
description: Several cotton experiments have been conducted at the University of Arizona's Maricopa Agricultural Center from which datasets have been obtained documenting cotton responses to elevated CO2 concentrations, water supply, nitrogen fertilizer, and planting density. In particular, these experiments included FACE (free-air CO2 enrichment; CO2, water; 10 treatment-years), AgIIS (Agricultural Irrigation Imaging System, pronounced Ag Eyes; nitrogen fertilizer, water supply; 4 treatment-years), and FISE (FAO-56 Irrigation Scheduling Experiments; irrigation scheduling method, planting density, nitrogen fertilizer; 24 treatment-years). Besides achieving the experimental objectives of determining cotton's response to the several variables, as well as testing remote sensing techniques, the comprehensive datasets are suitable for validating plant growth models because they include weather, soils, management, growth, yield and other data.

AgMIP Regional Integrated Assessment of Agricultural Systems in Nioro, Senegal
type: item
description: The Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) developed protocol-based methods for Regional Integrated Assessment (RIA) of agricultural systems. These methods have been applied by teams of scientists working with regional and national stakeholders across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. This paper describes the data sets that were used to implement the AgMIP RIA methods for the Nioro region of Senegal. The goal of the RIA is to assess the potential impacts of climate change on the principal agricultural system in the Senegal peanut basin comprised of peanut, millet, maize and other minor crops and livestock, and to assess adaptations of that system to climate change, under current as well as future climate and socio-economic conditions. The data sets include: the Representative Agricultural Pathways (RAPs) developed for Nioro from 2000-2050; climate data used to implement crop yield simulations; the data used to parameterize the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) and the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) crop models, which include historical climate data and future climate scenarios; and the data used to parameterize the Tradeoff Analysis Model for Multi-dimensional Impact Assessment (TOA-MD) economic simulation model. The analysis is structured around four AgMIP “core questions'' of climate impact assessment.

Data from the Arizona FACE (Free-Air CO2 Enrichment) Experiments on Sorghum at Ample and Limiting Levels of Water Supply
type: item
description: Two free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments were conducted on sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Möench, a C4 grain crop) at Maricopa, Arizona, U.S.A. during the 1998 and 1999 summer growing seasons. They were conducted at ample and limited (50% of ample) supplies of water. A large and varied set of data on plant, soil, and microclimatic responses to the elevated CO2 and its interactions with the water supply was collected. The dataset assembled herein consists of many of these data, including those generally used for model validation, such as management, soils, daily and 15-minute weather, physiology (net photosynthesis, plant water potential, relative water content), phenology, biomass growth, leaf area, yield, canopy temperatures, energy balance, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, reflectance and vegetation indices, and absorption of photosynthetically active radiation. Partitioning of nitrogen between nitrate and cyanide, which affects toxicity of the sorghum forage to livestock, was measured. In addition, isotopic methods were used to trace carbon flows in both FACE and Control plots from atmosphere to plant material to soil carbon pools. The dataset is useful for validation of sorghum growth models, which get used to predict likely future sorghum productivity given projected global climate change.

Kenya public weather processed by the Global Yield Gap Atlas project
type: item
description: The Global Yield Gap Atlas project (GYGA - http://yieldgap.org) has undertaken a yield gap assessment following the protocol recommended by van Ittersum et al. (2013). One part of the activities consists of collecting and processing weather data as an input for crop simulation models in sub-Saharan African countries including Kenya. This publication covers daily weather data for 12 locations in Kenya for the years 1998-2012. The project looked for good quality weather data in areas where crops are pre-dominantly grown. As locations with good public weather data are sparse in Africa, the project developed a method to generate bias corrected weather data from a combination of observed data and other external weather data. The bias corrected weather data consist of daily TRMM rain data and NASA POWER Tmax, Tmin, and Tdew data. These data are corrected based on calibrations with short-term (<10 years) observed weather data. The data can be found via DOI 10.17026/DANS-ZYU-XKHC.

Long-term soil hydrological data of a Pleistocene region in North-East Germany
type: item
description: Long-term soil hydrological studies were carried out at the ZALF Muencheberg Experimental Station. Muencheberg is located in a Pleistocene end moraine landscape in NE Germany about 50 km east of Berlin and 40 km west of the Oder river, the border with Poland. The soils are formed on Pleistocene parent material, classified as Haplic Albeluvisol with a Bt horizon mostly beginning at about 70 cm depth. From 1994-1999 the site was used as arable land managed by different farming systems (integrated, integrated with irrigation, ecological and low input). From 2000 to 2005 the effect of different tillage systems (plough and no till) was investigated. Furthermore, soil water was extracted by use of suction cups for analysing the soil water nitrate concentrations. The data were used for quantifying deep drainage rates and nitrate losses as described in (Schindler and Mueller, 2008 and Schindler et al., 2010). All basic data (soil water content, tension, precipitation, potential evapotranspiration and soil water nitrate concentrations) are accessible via DOI 10.4228/ZALF.1995.282.

Hydraulic properties of horticultural substrates
type: item
description: One main criterion for evaluating the suitability of horticultural substrates for horticultural applications is their capability to store and transport water. The basic substrate hydraulic variables which provide this information are the water retention curve and the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function. Substrate shrinkage and water repellency are of similar importance. A set of 36 commercial horticultural substrates was selected and the hydraulic properties (water retention curve, unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function, capillary rise and shrinkage) were measured with the Extended Evaporation Method (EEM). Additionally, the water drop penetration time was determined as a measure of wettability. Here the raw data are presented. Data access under DOI 10.4228/ZALF.2015.278.

Data from the Arizona FACE (Free-Air CO2 Enrichment) Experiments on Wheat at Ample and Limiting Levels of Water and Nitrogen
type: item
description: Four free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments were conducted on wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yecora Rojo) at Maricopa, Arizona, U.S.A. from December, 1992 through May, 1997. The first two were conducted at ample and limited (50% of ample) supplies of water, and second two at ample (350 kg N ha-1) and limited (70 and 15 kg N ha-1) supplies of fertilizer nitrogen. More than 50 scientists participated, and they collected a large and varied set of data on plant, soil, and microclimatic responses to the elevated CO2 and its interactions with the water and N treatments. The dataset has been popular with wheat growth modelers who have utilized the growth, yield, and other data to validate their models, which get used to predict likely future wheat productivity with projected global change. The dataset assembled herein contains many of these data, including management, soils, weather, physiology, phenology, biomass growth, leaf area, yield, quality, canopy temperatures, energy balance, soil moisture, nitrogen assimilation, and other data.

Wheat response to a wide range of temperatures, as determined from the Hot Serial Cereal (HSC) Experiment
type: item
description: Temperatures are warming on a global scale, a phenomenon that likely will affect future crop productivity. Crop growth models are useful tools to predict the likely effects of these global changes on agricultural productivity and to develop strategies to maximize the benefits and minimize the detriments of such changes. However, few such models have been tested at the higher temperatures expected in the future. Therefore, a “Hot Serial Cerealâ€ experiment was conducted on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the world’s foremost food and feed crop, in order to obtain a dataset appropriate for testing the high temperature performance of wheat growth models. The wheat (Cereal) was planted serially (Serial) about every six weeks for over two years at Maricopa, Arizona, USA, which experiences the whole range of temperatures at which plants grow on Earth. In addition, on six planting dates infrared heaters in a T-FACE (temperature free-air controlled enhancement) system (Hot) were deployed over one-third of the plots to warm the wheat by additional target 1.5°C during daytime and 3.0°C at night. Achieved average degrees of warming were 1.3 and 2.7°C for day and night. Overall, a dataset covering 27 differently treated wheat crops with three replicates each was obtained covering an air temperature range from -2 to 42°C. Herein, the management, soils, weather, physiology, phenology, growth, yield, quality, and other data are presented. Data access via doi 10.7910/DVN/AEFLHB.

The Hot Serial Cereal Experiment for modeling wheat response to temperature: field experiments and AgMIP-Wheat multi-model simulations
type: item
description: The data set reported here includes the part of a Hot Serial Cereal Experiment (HSC) experiment recently used in the AgMIP-Wheat project to analyze the uncertainty of 30 wheat models and quantify their response to temperature. The HSC experiment was conducted in an open-field in a semiarid environment in the southwest USA. The data reported herewith include one hard red spring wheat cultivar (Yecora Rojo) sown approximately every six weeks from December to August for a two-year period for a total of 11 planting dates out of the 15 of the entire HSC experiment. The treatments were chosen to avoid any effect of frost on grain yields. On late fall, winter and early spring plantings temperature free-air controlled enhancement (T-FACE) apparatus utilizing infrared heaters with supplemental irrigation were used to increase air temperature by 1.3°C/2.7°C (day/night) with conditions equivalent to raising air temperature at constant relative humidity (i.e. as expected with global warming) during the whole crop growth cycle. Experimental data include local daily weather data, soil characteristics and initial conditions, detailed crop measurements taken at three growth stages during the growth cycle, and cultivar information. Simulations include both daily in-season and end-of-season results from 30 wheat models. Data access via doi 10.7910/DVN/M9ZT0F

description: A four-year (1999-2002) multivariable data set for one specific agricultural used field located in North Rhine-Westphalia is documented in detailed. The data set focusses on the small-scale heterogeneity of soil properties varying in the spatial and temporal dimension. Initial soil sampling was conducted at altogether 80 sampling points arranged in a regular and a nested grid along the 20 ha large field. Information about the soil inventory (soil texture, soil organic carbon) exists for three subsequent soil layers to a total depth of 90 cm and for every sampling point. Subsequently, the same points and layers were examined for the soil variables soil moisture and soil nitrogen biannually. Additional information about crop rotation, tillage, site-specific fertilization, yield performance and weather complete the data set was that used for model inter-comparison within the crop modelling part (CropM) of the international FACCE JPI MACSUR2 project.

Landscape diagnostic survey data of wheat production practices and yield in eastern India
type: item
description: Approximately 7,600 wheat plots were surveyed and geo-tagged in the 2017-18 winter or rabi season in Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh (UP) in India to capture farmers’ wheat production practices at the landscape level. A two-stage cluster sampling method, based on Census data and electoral rolls, was used to identify 210 wheat farmers in each of 40 districts. The survey, implemented in Open Data Kit (ODK), recorded 226 variables covering major crop production factors such as previous crop, residue management, crop establishment method, variety and seed sources, nutrient management, irrigation management, weed flora and their management, harvesting method and farmer reported yield. Crop cuts were also made in 10% of fields. Data were very carefully checked with enumerators. These data should be very useful for technology targeting, yield prediction and other spatial analyses.

Informal and non-market operations in activity systems
type: item
description: Measuring informal and non-market activities: a representative survey of Kanak households in the indigenous villages of New Caledonia. In 2011, a survey was conducted to examine the role of agricultural activities (agriculture, breeding, fishing and hunting) in the economies of Kanak households living in such villages in New Caledonia. In total, 1429 domestic groups have been interviewed. The survey focused on the activities performed during 2010 and was representative of the indigenous population at national level as well as in 10 areas within the 3 provinces of New Caledonia. In order to allow people to use them for further analysis, this paper describes the conceptual framework, the nature and the quality of the data. A copy of the data collected is available via the following link: https://dataverse.cirad.fr (doi:10.18167/DVN1/VWWVXU). In order to allow people to use them for further analysis, this paper describes the conceptual framework, the nature and the quality of the data.

Multi-variable experimental data set of agronomic data and gaseous soil emissions from maize, oilseed rape and other energy crops at eight sites in Germany
type: item
description: Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), as well as other gaseous emissions and agronomic variables were continuously measured for three years (2011/2012 – 2014/2015) at eight experimental field sites in Germany. All management activities were consistently documented. The GHG-DB-Thuenen stores these multi-variable data sets of gas fluxes (CO2, N2O, CH4 and NH3), crop parameters (ontogenesis, aboveground biomass, grain and straw yield, N and C content, etc.), soil characteristics (nitrogen content, NH4-N, NO3-N, bulk density etc.), continuously recorded meteorological variables (air and soil temperatures, radiation, precipitation, etc.), management activities (sowing, harvest, soil tillage, fertilization, etc.), and its metadata (methods, further information about variables, etc.). In addition, NOx data were measured and analyzed. Also available are site-specific calculated C and N balances for the respective crops and crop rotations.
