Desert Uplands 2 Management Event Data Collection

<p>The Management Event collection for the ALTAR site Desert Uplands 2 provides a spatiotemporal summary of significant land management events in the managed agroecosystem. </p> <p>In cropping and grazing lands, management events, for example, grazing, tillage, mechanical harvest and burning often represent either (1) a considerable lateral transport of carbon and water from the monitored ecosystem or (2) a period when assumptions of the eddy covariance technique may not be met. Correct capture of these events also enables a valuable opportunity to improve understanding on management effects. For integration into simulation models, historical management event insight may be crucial, but sources may be highly uncertain.</p> <p>In practice, management event records are often inconsistent between producers and contain sensitive information – to enable sharing and analysis across multiple sites, ALTAR network processing involves translation and denaturing of this information before publication. </p> <p>Access to this dataset is available on request subject to agreement.</p>
