Biomass availability from the harvest of crop residues and oilseed radish as an intermediate crop at yield survey district level in Sweden
https://doi.org/10.5878/t9ey-ac36
The data set is a result of a study that investigates the potential of intermediate crops to offset the negative effects on soil organic carbon as a consequence of the removal of crop residues for the bioeconomy. The study used the statistics from the Swedish Board of Agriculture as inputs for estimating the availability of crop residues, possibilities to cultivate intermediate crops, and total and potentially stabilized organic carbon. It considered all the Swedish yield survey districts (SKO) where the removal of residues and cultivation of intermediate crops is technically possible. The information is provided in a text file and in seven shape files containing spatial information. The original geospatial data for the SKO boundaries in shapefile format was obtained from Jordbruksverket (CC BY 4.0). These have also been converted into a GeoPackage file.
This data set contains estimations at the yield survey district level on:
- Crop residue availability per agricultural crop
- Area availability for cultivation of intermediate crops
- Biomass production of oilseed radish as intermediate crop
- Carbon contribution as total and stable carbon from intermediate crops and crop residues
The file contains 106 rows (yield disctricts) and 30 columns.
