+++++



Resources in this dataset are in Excel files. Each excel file contains a data dictionary for each tab containing data. There is also a tab named Introduction that lists the authors, equipment used, relevant citations, and explains the other tabs, which contain either data dictionaries or related data. Tab names are unique so that tabs may be saved as individual CSV files. The data are from measurements of plant density, growth, and yield made in the fields and in the four large, precision weighing lysimeters.



The resources are:



Resource Title: 1995 Bushland, TX, West Soybean Weighing Lysimeter and Microclimate Data

File Name: 1995_Soybean_W_Lys_ClimDat(FINAL).xlsx

Resource Description: This dataset consists of weighing lysimeter data for soybean grown under full irrigation using a linear move sprinkler irrigation system at the USDA-ARS Conservation and Production Laboratory (CPRL), Soil and Water Management Research Unit (SWMRU), Bushland, Texas (Lat. 35.186714°, Long. -102.094189°, elevation 1170 m above MSL). This particular dataset contains lysimeter soil water storage and drainage data, and data from in-soil and above-soil sensors. Properties sensed included wind speed, air temperature and relative humidity, components of the radiation balance (e.g., net radiation, incoming and reflected shortwave, photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), incoming and reflected longwave, thermal infrared emitted by the plant/soil surface), soil heat flux, soil temperature, and soil volumetric water content at certain depths. Not all properties where always sensed in any one year.
