e-RA: the electronic Rothamsted Archive
The electronic Rothamsted Archive (e-RA) provides a permanent managed database for secure storage of Rothamsted's long term experimental data. Together with the accompanying meteorological records, associated documentation and sample archive, it is an unique historical record of experiments that have been measured continuously for over 150 years. Users have easy access to experimental data and specialist background information on the effects of agricultural practices on soils, crops and associated ecosystems. Currently e-RA holds records of yields and other data for the Broadbalk winter wheat, Park Grass permanent grassland, Hoosfield spring barley and Alternate Wheat and Fallow Classical experiments. Meteorological data from Rothamsted, Brooms Barn and Woburn is also available.
The data held within e-RA is password-protected and may not be passed to a third party without written permission. Usernames and passwords can be obtained by contacting the e-RA Curators. This data is available for scientific research but remains the property of Rothamsted Research and the Lawes Agricultural Trust. Access to data held in e-RA is subject to our Data Access Policy.
These are the datasets which are currently available. The links will lead you to background information on the experiments or the data. To extract data, please use the dedicated Data Extraction Tool
