<p>Lincoln NE Corn-Switchgrass Experiment USDA-ARS REAP Study (Ithaca, NE) - NEMEIRR Sustainable intensification of high-yielding production systems may help meet increasing demands for food, fuel, and fiber worldwide. Specifically, corn stover is being removed by producers for livestock purposes, and stover is also targeted as a primary 2nd generation biofuel feedstock. The NEMEIRR experimental objectives are to quantify how stover removal (no removal, moderate removal, high removal) and tillage management (no-till, disk) affect crop yields, soil organic carbon, soil greenhouse gas emissions, and other soil responses (microbial community structure, function; soil health). This experiment is conducted in a fully irrigated continuous corn system in the western Corn Belt, and soil and plant measurements have been taken since study establishment in 2001. </p> <p>See the record in the GeoData catalog at <a href="https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/d746bba5-dd93-4fed-8c1a-21361ccc1bd0">https://geodata.nal.usda.gov/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/d746bba5-dd93-4fed-8c1a-21361ccc1bd0</a> for more information and links to the data resources.</p>
