A global gridded data set on tillage - R-code

Tillage is a central element in agricultural soil management and has direct and indirect effects on processes in the biosphere. Effects of agricultural soil management can be assessed by soil, crop, and ecosystem models but global assessments are hampered by lack of information on soil management systems. This study presents a classification of globally relevant tillage practices and a global spatially explicit data set on the distribution of tillage practices for around the year 2005.This source code complements the dataset on the global gridded tillage system mapping described in Porwollik et al. (2018, http://doi.org/10.5880/PIK.2018.012). It shall help interested people in understanding the findings on the global gridded tillage system mapping. The code, programmed in R, can be used for reproducing and build upon for scenarios including the expansion of sustainable soil management practices as CA. Both, the data set and the R-code are described in detail in Porwollik et al. (2018, ESSD). The code is written in the statistical software 'R' using the 'raster', 'fields', and 'ncdf4' packages.We present the mapping result of six tillage systems for 42 crop types and potentially suitable Conservation Agriculture area as variables:1 = conventional annual tillage2 = traditional annual tillage3 = reduced tillage4 = Conservation Agriculture5 = rotational tillage6 = traditional rotational tillage7 = potential suitable Conservation Agriculture areaReference system: WGS84Geographic extent: Longitude (min, max) (-180, 180), Latitude (min, max) (-56, 84)Resolution: 5 arc-minutesTime period covered: around the year 2005Type: NetCDFDataset sources (with indication of reference):1.

A global gridded data set on tillage

Tillage is a central element in agricultural soil management and has direct and indirect effects on processes in the biosphere. Effects of agricultural soil management can be assessed by soil, crop, and ecosystem models but global assessments are hampered by lack of information on type and spatial distribution. This dataset is the result of a study on global classification of tillage practices and the spatially explicit mapping of crop-specific tillage systems for around the year 2005.This global gridded tillage system data set is dedicated to modeling communities interested in the quantitative assessment of biophysical and biogeochemical impacts of land use and soil management on cropland. The data set is complemented by the publication of the R- code and can be used for reproducing and build upon for scenarios including the expansion of sustainable soil management practices as Conservation Agriculture (Porwollik et al. 2018, http://doi.org/10.5880/PIK.2018.013). Both, the data set and the R-code are described in detail in Porwollik et al.

Irlbach 2021 - An Agricultural Flight Campaign to prepare for Spaceborne Spectroscopy using the AVIRIS_NG Instrument

The airborne hyperspectral image was acquired by the AVIRIS-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) instrument during the AVIRIS-NG Europe 2021 HyperSense campaign that has been conducted as a joint effort of ESA, NASA/JPL and the University of Zurich. Acquired was an agricultural area near Irlbach, Germany on May 30th, 2021. The data was preprocessed (radiometrically, geometrically and atmospherically corrected) to contain 419 bands in the 402 - 2495 nm spectral range. Metadata was acquired on the same day for the variables Leaf Area Index (LAI), Leaf Chlorophyll content, crop height and phenology. An overview of metadata acquisition and processing can be found in the HYPERedu YouTube videos on ground reference data acquisition in the field and ground reference data acquisition in the lab. More details on LAI and chlorophyll acquisition can be found in the field data guides assembled by the authors of this dataset via enmap.org (Danner et al., 2015; Süß et al., 2015). The dataset is made publically available within the massive open online course (MOOC) "Beyond the Visible - Introduction to Imaging Spectroscopy for Agricultural Applications", available from December 2022.

TropSOC Database

We provide version 1.0 of an open access database created as part of the project “Tropical soil organic carbon dynamics along erosional disturbance gradients in relation to variability in soil geochemistry and land use” (TropSOC). TropSOC v1.0 contains spatial and temporal explicit data on soil, vegetation, environmental properties and land management collected from 136 pristine tropical forest and cropland plots between 2017 and 2020 as part of several monitoring and sampling campaigns in the Eastern Congo Basin and the East African Rift Valley System. The results of several laboratory experiments focussing on soil microbial activity, C cycling and C stabilization in soils complement the dataset to deliver one of the first landscape scale datasets to study the linkages and feedbacks between geology, geomorphology and pedogensis as controls on biogeochemical cycles in a variety of natural and managed systems in the African Tropics. Sampling procedures are described in each metadata description .pdf file accompanying a specific .csv file that represents a methodologically distinct subset of the database. A general overview of field sampling procedures and design is given in Doetterl et al., (2021, ESSD in review) which describes the dataset as a whole. Analytical procedures are described in each metadata description .pdf file accompanying a specific .csv file that represents a methodologically distinct subset of the database. Data processing and quality control are described in each metadata description .pdf file accompanying a specific .csv file that represents a methodologically distinct subset of the database.
