This dataset records several responses in a large-scale field south of Mandan, ND to two agricultural management systems, aspirational (ASP; cover crops, and retained wheat straw) and business-as-usual (BAU; no cover crops, wheat straw harvested). Measurements were collected over one full cropping sequence corn-soybean-spring wheat from 2020-2022. Measurements included sediment mass flux, grain yield, grain crop aboveground biomass, grain crop harvest index, and cover crop biomass.
Full details about the data files including variable definitions are provided in the Read Me file.
