The Ag Data Commons is migrating

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new institutional portal on Figshare. The current system is available for search and download only. The new platform is open for submission with assistance from Ag Data Commons curators. Please contact NAL-ADC-Curator@usda.gov, if you need to publish or update your datasets.

Data from: Use of long-read sequencing simulators to assess real-world applications for food safety

    The goal of this project was to use NanoSim-H software to simulate Oxford Nanopore sequencing reads to assess the feasibility of sequencing-based foodborne pathogen detection and guide experimental design. Sequencing reads were simulated for STEC, *L. monocytogenes*, and a 1:1 combination of STEC and *Bos taurus* genomes using NanoSim-H. This dataset includes all of the simulated reads generated by the project in fasta format.

    Rangeland Analysis Platform: Monitor rangelands across the USA

      The Rangeland Analysis Platform ( rangelands.app) is a free online application that provides simple and fast access to geospatial vegetation data for U.S. rangelands. The tool was developed to provide landowners, resource managers, conservationists, and scientists access to data that can inform land management planning, decision making, and the evaluation of outcomes. The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) uses innovative cloud computing technology to provide maps and analysis opportunities straight to your desktop, delivered securely and instantaneously.

      Data and code from: Synergistic soil, land use, and climate influences on wind erosion on the Colorado Plateau: Implications for management - v2

        This dataset includes code and data to recreate analysis from the manuscript "Nauman, T. W., Munson, S. M., Dhital, S., Webb, N. P., & Duniway, M. C. (2023). Synergistic soil, land use, and climate influences on wind erosion on the Colorado Plateau: Implications for management. Science of The Total Environment (p. 164605). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.164605". This includes R statistical code, aeolian monitoring data and associated soil, land use, and climate explanatory data for each site, and a raster map showing areas modeled to have more sediment transport.

        Elderberry syrup buffer modeling data

          Data for the article: Modeling the Formulation pH of Elderberry Syrup with multiple weak acids, https://doi.org/10.1111/1750-3841.16664. To develop methods to assess the influence of the ingredients of an acidified elderberry syrup on product pH., a total of 16 model syrup formulations containing elderberry juice with mixed acids (malic, acetic, and ascorbic) and having pH values between 3 and 4 were prepared. The pH values of the formulations were compared to predicted values from combined buffer models of the individual ingredients. Regression analysis indicated an excellent fit of the observed and predicted pH data, with a root mean square error of 0.076 pH units. The results indicated that buffer models may be useful for in silico estimates of how the ingredients in acid and acidified foods may influence pH, thus aiding in product development and safety assessments.
