Arable crop yield data for the Hillesden Experimental Platform, UK, collected between 2006 and 2011

This dataset contains yield data for wheat, oilseed rape and field beans grown in fields under different agri-environment practices. The fields were located at the Hillesden Estate in Buckinghamshire, UK, where a randomised block experiment had been implemented to examine the effects of converting differing proportions of arable land to wildlife habitat. The fields were planted with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) followed by break crops of either oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) or field beans (Vicia faba L.). Three treatments were applied at random: a control ("business as usual"), Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) treatment and ELS Extra treatment. The ELS treatment involved removing 1% of land to create wildlife habitats. The ELS Extra had a greater proportion of land removed (6%) and additional wildlife habitats included. The total yield of each crop was measured at the time of harvesting using a yield meter attached to the combine harvester. From these values, yield per hectare and the ratio of crop yield to regional average yield were calculated.

本数据集收录了在英国白金汉郡希尔登庄园不同农业环境管理措施下种植的小麦、油菜籽和蚕豆的产量数据。该庄园实施了一项随机区组实验，旨在探究将不同比例的耕地转化为野生动物栖息地的效果。田野种植了小麦（Triticum aestivum L.），随后种植了油籽菜（Brassica napus L.）或田豆（Vicia faba L.）作为休闲作物。随机应用了三种处理方法：对照组（按常规经营）、入门级管理（ELS）处理和ELS额外处理。ELS处理涉及移除1%的土地以创建野生动物栖息地。ELS额外处理移除了更多比例的土地（6%）并增加了额外的野生动物栖息地。在收割时，使用附在联合收割机上的产量计测量了每种作物的总产量。据此，计算了每公顷产量以及作物产量与区域平均产量的比率。关于此数据集的详细信息可在https://doi.org/10.5285/e54069b6-71a9-4b36-837f-a5e3ee65b4de找到。
