Winter Barley Nitrous Oxide Emissions and Soil Properties Under Microplastic Treatments

Environmental Information Data Centre provides field and laboratory measurements from a winter barley trial assessing microplastic impacts. The dataset contains nitrous oxide emissions, microbial community composition, crop yield, and soil biochemical properties. Data was collected from September 2020 to July 2021 at a UK field center under three treatment conditions.

Use Cases

• Analyze nitrous oxide emission levels across control, conventional microplastic, and biodegradable microplastic treatments.
• Correlate microbial community composition data with soil biochemical property measurements to assess treatment effects.
• Model crop yield and growth responses based on different microplastic addition scenarios.
• Investigate relationships between nitrous oxide emissions and specific soil biochemical properties.

Strengths

• Data covers a full agricultural cycle from September 2020 to July 2021.
• Includes measurements from three distinct experimental treatments: control, conventional microplastic, and biodegradable microplastic.
• Integrates field and laboratory measurements across environmental, biological, and agronomic variables.

Limitations

• Sample size and number of data rows are unknown, limiting statistical power assessment.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single field trial site in the UK, reducing generalizability.
• Data is from a one-year study, preventing analysis of long-term or multi-year trends.
