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!

Turfgrass Soil Carbon Change Through Time: Raw Data and Code

    Managed turfgrass is a common component of urban landscapes that is expanding under current land use trends. Previous studies have reported high rates of soil carbon sequestration in turfgrass, but no systematic review has summarized these rates nor evaluated how they change as turfgrass ages. We conducted a meta-analysis of soil carbon sequestration rates from 63 studies. Those data, as well as the code used to analyze them and create figures, are shared here.

    Data from: Genome resources for seven fungal isolates that cause turfgrass dollar spot disease, including Clarireedia jacksonii and C. monteithiana

      Ascomycete fungi in the genus *Clarireedia* are responsible for dollar spot, one of the most destructive and costly diseases affecting turfgrasses worldwide. Almost all grasses grown as turf are susceptible to dollar spot, including many high value grass species commonly used for golf courses. This Ag Data Commons dataset provides the genome sequences for seven isolates of *Clarireedia* fungi that cause dollar spot disease, including sequences of the two most widespread species, *C. jacksonii* and *C. monteithiana*.

      Plant Variety Protection Office - Scanned Certificates

        This dataset provides the scans of issued certificates for a variety of plants. If you know the certificate number or applicant name simply enter the information in the search box. For certificates issued between 1970 and 1999, add two zeroes in front of the 7-digit number. Alternatively, you can search by selecting a crop from the list.
