An accurate and management sensitive simulation model for tile-drained Midwestern soils is needed to optimize the use of agricultural management practices (e.g., winter cover crops) to reduce nitrate leaching without adversely affecting corn yield. Our objectives were to enhance the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) for tile drainage, test the modified model for several management scenarios, and then predict nitrate leaching with and without winter wheat cover crop. Twelve years of data (1990–2001) from northeast Iowa were used for model testing. Management scenarios included continuous corn and corn–soybean rotations with single or split N applications. For 38 of 44 observations, yearly drain flow...

This metadata record documents 8 comma delimitated files that support the USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2018-5020 on field studies in the Bucks Branch watershed and the Andover Branch watershed. Data were collected from two fields at two locations and include: groundwater, soil water, soils and plant tissue chemistry. Data also include sulfur hexafluoride and dissolved gas concentrations used in age dating of groundwater.

This metadata record documents data files, an analysis script, and results from a land-surface greenness analysis of the Tuckahoe Creek watershed, covering parts of Caroline, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties in Maryland from 1984 to 2017. Included in this record are: 1) 34 raster datasets containing maximum wintertime greenness values on an annual basis from 1984 to 2017, 2) a script used in Google Earth Engine to create the raster datasets, 3) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis for 1984 to 2017 using a composite cropland layer, 4) a raster of the composite cropland layer, 5) tabular output from vegetation biomass analysis by preceding summer crop type for 2008 to 2017 using year-specific annual cropland...

This metadata record describes 7 conservation practice based on information from the National Resource Conservation Service (NASS) (Michael Schwartz, USGS, written communic. 2017). These data are for the year, 2012 and compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2.1 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. The 7 conservation practices for included are : Land artificially drained by ditches, land drained by subsurface tiles, land on which conservation tillage was used, land on which conventional tillage was used, land on which no-till practices were used, land planted to a cover...
