Rothamsted Long-term Experiments Electronic Archive

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.

E-RA提供了一个永久性的托管仓库和知识库，用于安全存储来自罗瑟姆斯特德长期实验的元数据和数据，该实验是世界上历史最悠久、持续不断的农业实验。与伴随的气象记录、相关文档和样本档案相结合，它构成了一个独特的实验历史记录，这些实验自1843年以来一直持续进行测量。e-RA对罗瑟姆斯特德长期实验进行了全面描述，包括布罗德贝克小麦、帕克草地干草、胡斯菲尔德大麦、罗瑟姆斯特德和沃伯恩莱地作物以及长期石灰施用实验。e-RA维护长期常规数据收集，包括作物产量、品质特性、农业管理、土壤化学、病害和植物多样性。这些实验作为研究基础设施向科学家开放，并鼓励科学家使用e-RA存储任何由其生成的新数据。
