Conservation Practice Effectiveness (CoPE) Database

The Conservation Practice Effectiveness Database compiles information on the effectiveness of a suite of conservation practices. This database presents a compilation of data on the effectiveness of innovative practices developed to treat contaminants in surface runoff and tile drainage water from agricultural landscapes. Traditional conservation practices such as no-tillage and conservation crop rotation are included in the database, as well as novel practices such as drainage water management, blind inlets, and denitrification bioreactors. This will be particularly useful to conservation planners seeking new approaches to water quality problems associated with dissolved constituents, such as nitrate or soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), and for researchers seeking to understand the circumstances in which such practices are most effective. Another novel feature of the database is the presentation of information on how individual conservation practices impact multiple water quality concerns. This information will be critical to enabling conservationists and policy makers to avoid (or at least be aware of) undesirable tradeoffs, whereby great efforts are made to improve water quality related to one resource concern (e.g., sediment) but exacerbate problems related to other concerns (e.g., nitrate or SRP). Finally, we note that the Conservation Practice Effectiveness Database can serve as a source of the soft data needed to calibrate simulation models assessing the potential water quality tradeoffs of conservation practices, including those that are still being developed. This database is updated and refined annually. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: 2019 Conservation Practice Effectiveness (CoPE) Database.

《 Conservation Practice Effectiveness 数据库》系统整理了一系列生态保护措施的成效信息。该数据库汇集了针对农业景观地表径流和暗管排水水中污染物处理而开发的创新措施的有效性数据。数据库中不仅涵盖了诸如免耕和生态作物轮作等传统生态保护措施，还纳入了如排水水管理、盲沟和反硝化生物反应器等新颖实践。对于寻求解决与溶解成分（如硝酸盐或可溶性活性磷（SRP））相关的水质问题的生态规划者而言，该数据库将特别有用。此外，对于旨在理解此类措施在何种情境下最为有效的科研人员，该数据库亦具有极高的参考价值。数据库的另一创新之处在于，它展示了单个生态保护措施对多方面水质问题的影响。此类信息对于生态学家和政策制定者避免（或至少意识到）不良权衡至关重要，即为了改善与某一资源关注点（例如，沉积物）相关的水质，却加剧了与其他关注点（例如，硝酸盐或SRP）相关的问题。最后，我们指出，《 Conservation Practice Effectiveness 数据库》可作为校准评估生态保护措施潜在水质权衡的模拟模型的软数据来源，包括尚在开发中的措施。该数据库每年更新和优化。本数据集包含以下资源：
