Database of field experiments on the effect of agro-ecological strategies on N2O emissions in European arable land

The database with a specific focus on conservation agriculture consists of 11 field experiments located in 11 sites with mostly loamy soil texture across 8 European countries, thus covering different European climate zones, from northern over western to southern Europe. Among the 11 studies, a total of 3 were in Spain, 2 in Denmark, and 1 Belgium, Italy, Germany, Finland, Switzerland and the UK, respectively. Particularly, among the 11 studies, in 8 no-tillage was applied, while in 2 and in 1 conservation tillage minimum tillage was adopted, respectively. The duration of soil N2O emission monitoring ranges from 79 to 365 days.The database with a specific focus on organic agriculture consists of 11 field experiments, from 8 field studies located in sites with mostly silt loamy soil texture across 7 European countries, thus covering different European climate zones, from northern over western to southern Europe. With durations of experiments ranging from 1 to 36 years, a total of 3 studies were conducted in Denmark, 2 in France and Switzerland, and 1 in Austria, Finland and Italy.
