FAIRsharing record for: Rothamsted Long-term Experiments Electronic Archive

This FAIRsharing record describes: e-RA provides a permanent managed repository and knowledgebase for secure storage of metadata and data from Rothamsted's Long-term Experiments, the oldest, continuous agronomic experiments in the world. Together with the accompanying meteorological records, associated documentation and sample archive, it is a unique historical record of experiments that have been measured continuously since 1843. e-RA provides comprehensive descriptions of Rothamsted's long-term experiments including Broadbalk Wheat, Park Grass Hay, Hoosfield Barley, Rothamsted and Woburn Ley Arables, and Long-term Liming. e-RA maintains long-term routine data collections including crop yields, quality traits, agronomic management, soil chemistry, disease, and botanical diversity. The experiments are available as a research infrastructure to scientists and scientists are encouraged to deposit any new data generated with e-RA.
