Ag Data Commons migration begins October 18, 2023

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new platform – an institutional portal on Figshare. Starting October 18 the current system will be available for search and download only. Submissions will resume after the launch of our portal on Figshare in November. Stay tuned for details!

Dynamic Soil Properties for Soil Health projects-v2

    This version-2 expands and updates the first dataset from the Dynamic Soil Properties for Soil Health (DSP4SH) initiative. The dataset represents the data gathered, processed, and curated using scientifically based approaches to evaluate dynamic soil properties as soil health metrics. This dataset comprises of raw data collected from assessment of dynamic soil properties that may change due to agricultural land management.

      Data from: Chapter 5: Energy Use in Agriculture. U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2018

        The report 'U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2018' serves to estimate U.S. GHG emissions for the agricultural sector, to quantify uncertainty in emission estimates, and to estimate the potential of agriculture to mitigate U.S. GHG emissions. This dataset contains tabulated data from the figures and tables presented in Chapter 5, Energy Use in Agriculture, of the report. Data are presented for carbon dioxide emissions from on-farm energy use. Please refer to the report for full descriptions of and notes on the data.

        Data from: Chapter 4: Carbon Stocks & Stock Changes in U.S. Forests. U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2018

          The report 'U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2018' serves to estimate U.S. GHG emissions for the agricultural sector, to quantify uncertainty in emission estimates, and to estimate the potential of agriculture to mitigate U.S. GHG emissions. This dataset contains tabulated data from the figures and tables presented in Chapter 4, Carbon Stocks & Stock Changes in U.S. Forests, of the report. Data are presented for above and below-ground carbon stocks and stock changes.

          Data from: Chapter 3: Cropland Agriculture. U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2018

            The primary greenhouse gas (GHG) sources for agriculture are nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from cropped and grazed soils, methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant livestock production and rice cultivation, and CH4 and N2O emissions from managed livestock waste. This dataset contains tabulated data from the figures and tables presented in Chapter 3, Cropland Agriculture, of the report. Data are presented for Cropland Soils (N2O), Rice Cultivation + Residue Burning (CH4 + N2O), and Agricultural Soil Carbon and Amendments (CO2).

            Data from: Chapter 2- Livestock and Grazed Lands Emissions. U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2018

              The primary greenhouse gas (GHG) sources for agriculture are nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from cropped and grazed soils, methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant livestock production and rice cultivation, and CH4 and N2O emissions from managed livestock waste. This dataset contains tabulated data from the figures and tables presented in Chapter 2, Livestock and Grazed Lands Emissions, of the report. This chapter covers carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions and removals due to enteric fermentation, animal waste management, and land use for confined and grazed animals.

              Data from: Chapter 1, Introduction. U.S. Agriculture and Forestry Greenhouse Gas Inventory: 1990-2018

                The primary greenhouse gas (GHG) sources for agriculture are nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from cropped and grazed soils, methane (CH4) emissions from ruminant livestock production and rice cultivation, and CH4 and N2O emissions from managed livestock waste. This dataset contains tabulated data from the figures and tables presented in Chapter 1, Introduction, of the report. Data are presented for Cropland Soils (N2O), Enteric Fermentation (CH4), Managed Livestock Waste (CH4 + N2O), Grazed Lands (CH4 + N2O), Rice Cultivation + Residue Burning (CH4 + N2O), Energy Use, Forests, Harvested Wood, Urban Trees, and Agricultural Soils.

This dataset contains zipped, tabulated data from the figures and tables, and maps of the entire report. Data are presented for Cropland Soils (N2O), Enteric Fermentation (CH4), Managed Livestock Waste (CH4 + N2O), Grazed Lands (CH4 + N2O), Rice Cultivation + Residue Burning (CH4 + N2O), Energy Use, Forests, Harvested Wood, Urban Trees, and Agricultural Soils.

                  sharpshootR: A Soil Survey Toolkit

                    Miscellaneous soil data management, summary, visualization, and conversion utilities to support soil survey operations within the USDA-NRCS. Many of the functions are highly specialized and inherit default arguments from the names used by the various NCSS (National Cooperative Soil Survey) databases.
