Summary
Abstract: This experiment began in 1843. The site was possibly farmed since
Roman times (i.e at least 1500 years). Map of 1623 shows field in
arable use. 1839-1843 arable crops: turnips, barley, peas, wheat,
oats. The soil is Clay-with-flint overlying chalk; see Avery & Catt,
The Soil at Rothamsted (see reference list) for full details.

The average climatic conditions at the experimental site are: Minimum

Quality One of the goals of the ARM Program is to provide data streams of reasonable
quality for scientific research. Traditionally, data quality issues have been
addressed within ARM at several levels, including by instrument mentors, site
scientists, value added product scientists, and Science Team members at large.
Maintaining data quality for a program of the size and ... View entire text
Access Constraints Data of common interest from external sources are shared whenever possible, but
some sources restrict secondary distribution of data. In these cases, ARM will
seek specific allowances to distribute such data to members of the ARM Science
Team, but will observe restrictions on further distribution from the Archive if
required.
Use Constraints Use-constraints, if any, are provided in Data Quality Reports sent with the
data files when data are requested. The automatic inclusion of a data
originator as a co-author is not insisted upon in the ARM program, but the
source of any data should be clearly recognized either as a co-author or
through an appropriate acknowledgment. The ARM Program should be acknowledged
