Cereal and apple yield data from agroforestry and monoculture systems in the UK, 2018-2020

This dataset comprises cereal yield data from agroforestry and paired arable control systems, in addition to apple fruit count, width, and seed count data from agroforestry and orchard systems. The cereal data was collected from three working farms in the UK, each with paired agroforestry and arable fields under the same management. The agroforestry apple data was collected from five agroforestry sites in the UK, while orchard apples were sourced from a UK wholesaler, with the fruits originating from Kent, UK, except for organic Braeburn, which originated from Lower Saxony, Germany. Yield samples were taken shortly prior to harvest of the commercial crop. The agroforestry systems comprised 24 m wide crop alleys separated by rows of apple trees. The data was collected to compare productivity of apple-cereal intercropping agroforestry systems with comparable monocultures of arable and orchards. Cereal yield data was collected between 2018 and 2020, while all apple data was collected in 2020. All data was collected by Tom Staton (University of Reading).

Version 2 updated to correct erroneous latitude/longitude coordinates for sites 2 and 3.本数据集包含农林业（Agroforestry）与配对耕地对照系统的谷物产量数据，以及农林业和果园系统的苹果果实数量、果径与种子数量数据。谷物产量数据采集自英国境内3个经营性农场，每个农场均配置管理条件一致的配对农林业与耕地地块。农林业苹果样本采集自英国境内5个农林业站点；果园苹果样本则采购自英国某批发商，其果实均产自英国肯特郡，仅有机布瑞本苹果（Braeburn）产自德国下萨克森州。各类产量样本均于商品作物收获前不久完成采集。本次研究涉及的农林业系统由宽24米的作物种植带构成，以苹果树行作为间隔分隔。本数据集旨在对比苹果-谷物间作农林业系统与同等条件下的耕地单作、果园单作的生产力水平。谷物产量数据的采集周期为2018年至2020年，所有苹果数据均采集于2020年。全部数据由雷丁大学的汤姆·斯塔顿（Tom Staton）完成采集。如需了解数据采集流程与研究结果的更多细节，请参阅相关学术论文及补充材料。版本2更新修正了站点2与站点3的错误经纬度坐标。
