Research Project: Field Scale Experiments to Measure Long-Term Water Use and Productivity in Cultivated Landscapes

Location: Soil and Water Management Research

Project Number: 5062-11120-001-003-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Jul 1, 2026
End Date: Jun 30, 2029

Objective:
Cooperator will coordinate with ARS to help maintain field experiments and collect water use and crop productivity data for submission to the national Ameriflux network.

Approach:
Cooperator will maintain field equipment and collect plant growth data to measure the water use and productivity of cultivated cropping systems in the Upper Midwest. They will curate data, participate in data quality control checks, and interact with the Ameriflux network to ensure data are uploaded to the network for long term storage and retrieval for widespread use to study crop productivity.
