Technical Summary
Sustainable intensification (SI) implies farms maintain or increase yields and quality while minimising inputs and the environmental footprint of agriculture whilst ensuring economic viability. The scientific underpinning of SI and related policy is evolving and therefore we need to provide support to farming using the most advanced evidence and knowledge. The principle innovative step in this work package (WP) is to develop new tools (metrics of sustainability) which accommodate the new knowledge taking into account the mechanistic constraints that underlie the trade-offs between productivity, efficiency and resilience of agricultural systems. The new metrics will be informed by indicators of soil health for enhanced efficiency of nutrient utilization (ENU) at the soil-plant-microbe interface and in collaboration with the ASSIST strategic programme on the function of non-crop biodiversity and soil abiotic stress. The work will focus on the means of achieving the mechanistic targets from WP1 by mapping those on to management targets that can be operationalised on-farm. The North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP), Rothamsted Long Term Experiments (LTE) and Large Scale Rotation Experiments (LSRE) provide the unique capability to link nutrient stocks and flows at the plant scale (studied in WP1) to detailed measures of stocks and flows at the farm scale (losses, yield and quality) that will be studied in this WP. This analysis will convert a set of indicators that relate current best knowledge on mechanistic target states (developed in WP1) to 'fit-for-purpose' SI metrics that can be routinely measured on farms that do not benefit from the exhaustive instrumentation of the NWFP. The indicators represent a hypothesised relationship linking mechanisms to management that will be validated and further developed into metrics using existing experimental farm platforms (NWFP and LTE), the new LSRE, and the commercial farm networks established within the ASSIST programme.

| Description | Research carried out in the associated project BBS/E/C/000I0310 demonstrated that the speed of changes in microscale architecture and microbiome function of soil is approximately in equilibrium with the speed of changes in carbon content of soil. This indicates that the accrual of soil organic carbon (SOC) is likely to be the most important driver of effective nutrient use (ENU) of agriculture, supported by our extensive work at the farm scale. In this WP, the Broadbalk long-term arable trial, showed that systems with low SOC are generally accompanied by a reduction in soil nitrogen stock, primarily due to increased atmospheric emissions, and is therefore neither agronomically nor environmentally sustainable. Using the North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP) grazing trial, we found that higher SOC not only assists greater nutrient retention in soil but also promotes faster animal growth. To evaluate optimal soil intervention strategies for enhancing ENU, we compared different forms of organic amendments in the Fosters long-term arable trial and found that non-plant based treatments such as anaerobic digestate, compost and farmyard manure improve grain yields by ~18%, with enhanced concentrations of secondary/micronutrients and especially P, Fe and Zn. Based on the National Soil Inventory, we developed a new index to assess soil health (SOC/clay) and established minimum thresholds as well as target values for agricultural land uses in England and Wales. We found that soils under permanent pastures hold more genes promoting assimilatory processes than those under arable production: the form of nitrogen addition (inorganic vs organic) influenced nitrogen cycling-related genes, with a greater number of assimilatory genes associated with farmyard manure amended soils, due to improved structure and oxygenation of soils associated with high organic C inputs. These discoveries contribute to our understanding of biological, chemical and physical mechanisms underpinning nutrient flows and also form a robust evidence base for S2N's catchment, regional and national-scale research in projects BBS/E/C/000I0320 and BBS/E/C/000I0330. We tested pasture management as farmer-implementable interventions using permanent pasture (PP), high sugar grass (HSG) and a mixed sward (HSG and white clover, WC) on the NWFP and found that on average the target finishing weight for beef cattle was reached sooner in PP, but there were no effects on cattle meat quality. We also assessed grazing management interventions: set stocking (SS) vs cell grazing (CG) on soil compaction and nutrient cycling. Results indicate lower soil porosity (i.e. higher compaction) in CG, but the largest effect was found from the fact that the animals are grazing or not. The degree of compaction decreases during the winter, when the animals are housed. We also reviewed animal-related measurements and discovered that for example for sheep, out of 10 commonly measured variables, only one (ewe weight at lambing) is needed to inform feeding interventions due to strong collinearity between the variables. As a result, we have developed a dimension reduction algorithm to select the best combination of variables alongside the best resolution of measurements, thereby quantifying the marginal information value of each measurement in the context of on-farm decision support whilst minimising the number of 'on-farm' metrics required. Interactions between crop/forage rotation, soil cultivation and soil amendment, which are typically not observable under conventional field trials, yet can be plausibly hypothesised to be a principal determinant of gradients of sustainability metrics across commercial farms. The two new long-term trials (Large-scale Rotation Experiments, LSRE) established at Rothamsted farms have provided a novel data model to fit this newly generated data on multiple treatments and time points. In addition, under the EJP project CropGas we found that emission factors for nitrous oxide emissions in crop rotations on the LSRE, are lower than values recommended by the IPCC. Finally, while our work is primarily designed to deliver to BBSRC's Bioscience for Sustainable Agriculture and Food priority area, we are also delivering to Bioscience for Health by evaluating population health implications of farming interventions as part of sustainability assessment. For this, we developed a novel nutritional Life Cycle Assessment (nLCA) framework to quantify the intrinsic nutritional value of food produced per area of high-value (fertile) farmland under different farming systems and devised a new algorithm to quantify the marginal nutritional value of a commodity consumed as part of a wider diet. Both works demonstrated that the relative sustainability scores between commodities can be drastically altered depending on relevant model assumptions, many of which have been rarely challenged in the sustainability literature. |
| Exploitation Route | The data produced from this work will be available for use in mechanistic, statistical and nutrient balance models; as well as for Life Cycle Analyses. The long-term nature of some of the data, will be useful to identify effects of climate (and climate change) in productivity and the environment. Metrics of sustainability developed in this program will be of use for different purposes, including for practical application on-farm. These academic driven metrics will be the tools used to improve the regulation of processes, especially those that result in losses of nutrients. A large amount of data will also be published on the Farm Platform portal making it available to the wider academic community, allowing the investigation of various aspects of the system, for example the effect of pasture type vs animal breed and the potential for improving productivity and reducing losses to make the system more sustainable. A number of other data sets have also been published and will be useful to others in future for systematic reviews and further meta-analyses as well as for testing completely new hypotheses. The outcomes of this WP also have relevance for achieving Net Zero and other government targets such as the 25-year Environment Plan, the Agriculture Bill, Environmental Land Management Scheme and the National Greenhouse Gas inventory. In addition, our findings are being supplemented with new (2021) soil, livestock movement, gaseous losses data from the NWFP and LSRE and together will provide databases for the development of metrics of sustainability. Nutrient budgets for both arable and livestock systems will allow the assessment of nutrient use efficiency. Spatial disaggregation of soils parameters are being related to management, i.e. livestock movement causing compaction, and have been input to models to improve scenario simulation capacity. |

| Description | This project has contributed to a balanced, unbiassed and evidence-based debate on the role of livestock in sustainable agriculture: via participation in events including BBC 'Farming Today' and the Oxford Farming Conference discussing the positive and negative consequences of reductions in grazing livestock. Interviews given to Sky, BBC and Aljazeera news, BBC Breakfast and the Guardian discussed the balance between environmental footprint and nutritional biological value of different food types. Our assessment of the environmental burden from agriculture has been widely discussed in the media, challenging current metrics, i.e. CO2eq/kg product and generally the metrics developed here were discussed on BBC One's national news during the BBC Farming Week, BBC Panorama's documentary on climate change and numerous UK events involving AHDB and the NFU; with press coverage in The Times, Independent and Guardian and at the US Alltech ONE conference. More recently in a press release we reported that animal-based products score higher in Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) which uses protein quality rather than mass, reducing the environmental impact of cattle by half, but a 60% increase for wheat bread. The role of livestock in agriculture and human nutrition discussed in several interviews on the BBC (News at 6, 10 pm, Panorama), highlighted the importance of Life Cycle Analysis, nutritional density of different food types and impacts of diet choice bringing independent research evidence to a highly polarised debate, leading to collaborations with Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons. We interact with farmers through the Defra Clean Air Strategy and with the EC and the UNECE Task Force on managing Reactive Nitrogen, and contributed to the development of the livestock app Breedr® to help farmers produce and market more profitable cattle with higher welfare and less waste. We also proved that it is possible to assess housed cattle welfare using video recording, but that this should be complemented by live assessment. We contribute to farmers events, including Rootstock held in Westpoint in Exeter, where issues with sustainable farming are discussed between farmers and academics. Through collaboration with Uruguay, we analysed productivity indicators in Integrated Crop Livestock Systems in Uruguay and found that systems that rotate with pasture tended to have higher levels of crop production. A study in Brazil showed that methane emission intensity (per LWG) was lower for integrated crop livestock and crop livestock forest systems compared to extensive systems. In France we found an example of how a small number of driven and innovative farmers can work cooperatively to develop and establish something far greater than their own farm; via a conservation programme there was an opportunity to utilise a breed's desirable traits, such as easy calving and disease resistance. A study in Chile showed that feeding dairy cows with a mixed forage diet can improve nitrogen use efficiency. Regarding the animal health, we found that in order to increase ruminant selenium intake, supplementing selenium directly to animals is more efficient than applying animal manure to soil, because selenium reduction decreases selenium uptake by grass. We showed that the use of riparian buffers in a maize crop resulted in a decrease of soil methane and nitrous oxide emissions compared to the no buffer treatment. A decrease in nitrous oxide was also observed in a grassland with a buffer, but in the case of methane, grassland soils were sinks with or without the buffer. Regarding CO2 emissions, we found that pasture type has an influence in the atmospheric CO2 balance and our regression modelling supported this conclusion, with pasture type and time of the year being significant factors in predicting fluxes. A significant effect of ploughing was observed when changing land use from pasture to arable, with a loss of CO2 four times larger after ploughing. We influenced National and International policy via the UK inventory of greenhouse gases. We have contributed to climate change policy in a Policy Brief which recommended mitigation options for policy makers. Locally, our participation on the Task Force to achieve Net Zero in Devon allows S2N science to provide local government with guidance on appropriate strategies to achieve Net Zero by 2040 and has resulted in the carbon plan for Devon which has begun to be implemented. The Agroforestry farm network developed with FWAG and the Woodland Trust introduced trees in grazing and arable systems, to which Rothamsted contributed by making an assessment of the baseline carbon status of each farm. We have now received funding to expand the network in Latin America. Results of micronutrient studies in mixed swards were presented in New Scientist Live, Soil Association and Agricology blogs and to the International Fertilizer Society and Farmer's Weekly. This promoted the creation of a network of farmer trials (Innovative Farmers project). We significantly expanded collaborations with SMEs, through Innovate UK projects, AgRIA and ERDF programmes; Agri-Tech Cornwall programme and Environmental Futures, Big Data Impact Lab and our membership of the UK Agrimetrics and CIEL Agri-Tech Centres. Our Advisory Group (AHDB, Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group, Linking Environment and Farming, NFU, NSA) enabled impact with regional and national farmer networks. Engagement with agricultural industry: Cereals 2021, CropTec, Groundswell, NFU; NFU Conference. We hosted visits on campus from farming and environmental stakeholders including AHDB Beef & Lamb Discussion Group, NBA South West, NSA South West, Dyson Beeswax Farming, The Prince's Farm Resilience Programme, and the Cheshire dairy & grazing discussion group. Internationally, we work with the Global Farm Platform initiative (129 research farms around the world) to develop 'fit-for-purpose' sustainability metrics; discussed the use of of Voisin Rotational Grazing (a regenerative grazing system) to sequester C in the soil as a source of greenhouse gases mitigation in Brazil. Further networks to improve the environmental impact of agriculture were set up with Brazil, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe. We have gained knowledge regarding food waste in low-and-middle-income countries in a review of the literature. There were no studies that applied preventive and mitigative measures together to explore their level of efficacy; there was a strong bias in favour of material-based interventions, with little attention given to knowledge-based alternatives or local capacity building. Next generation of practitioners - students and training - Soil to Nutrition and uplift projects are enabling the training of >52 PhD students and postdoctoral scientists in the areas of soil science, nutrient cycling, agronomy, livestock science, biogeochemistry, agroecosystems modelling and social sciences, particularly through the RCUK Doctoral Training Partnerships, the Teagasc Walsh Fellowship scheme and via co-funded PhD studentships (e.g. University of Bangor, funding from NERC). |

| Impact | The UK is an Annex I country for the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions to the United Framework Convention for Climate change. As such, the UK is committed to reducing its emissions according to International Agreements (for ex. the Kyoto protocol). The development of new Emission Factors for agriculture has a impact not only on the accounting of national emissions, but also on the application of mitigation strategies from the understanding on where the emissions come from, also to show compliance with the international demands for reduction. |

| Title | Broadbalk Weed Survey Data 1991-2021 |
| Description | This dataset consists of the relative annual frequencies of all non-crop plant species ('weeds') recorded in all eighteen plots of section 8 of the Broadbalk wheat experiment, 1991-2021. Section 8 has not received any herbicides in its history - in contrast to the other sections of Broadbalk which have received herbicides since 1964. Broadbalk section 8 is one of the few arable sites in the country where herbicides have never been applied. Consequently it is populated by a rich diversity of arable species, some very rare elsewhere in England. Broadbalk continues to act as a valuable resource for weed investigations 180 years after it was established, for example Moss _et al._ (2004). There have been various surveys of weeds on Broadbalk wheat experiment since its conception in 1843, but not a consistent methodology in these. The first plot-by-plot surveys of weed species were done in 1869 recording the presence of species. The first phase of annual surveys was between 1933-1979 prior to the current layout of sections. The current weed survey was started on section 8 in 1991 and has continued annually ever since - although not on years when that section is in fallow: 1994, 2001, 2008, 2015, 2016 and 2022. Section 8 (called section VA 1958-1967) was created in 1968 when the experiment was divided into its present layout (Broadbalk plan today). The current assessment method records the presence of individual weed species in 25 random quadrats (0.1m2) per plot. The plots receive differing types and rates of fertilizer treatments and the weed species reflect these. Each year all 18 plots are surveyed meaning 450 quadrats are assessed per year, usually in June. Frequencies refer to the total number of quadrats in which a weed is recorded, the maximum being 25 per plot and 450 across all plots in the section. This method is more appropriate for detecting long-term trends in weed frequencies and population differences between plots than the earlier surveys and provides a comprehensive set of 20 years of data for weed studies. There have been 60 different species identified over the 30-year duration of this current survey, but many of these only occur sporadically and around 30 of these are currently recorded annually. This site also provides an invaluable reserve for seven nationally rare or uncommon species including corn cleavers (_Galium tricornutum_), corn buttercup (_Ranunculus arvensis_), shepherds needle (_Scandix pecten-veneris_) and prickly poppy (_Papaver argemone_). This is now the only location in the UK where corn cleavers is known to occur naturally. This valuable resource, and associated data, allows the study of long-term interactions between plant species, an opportunity to test current controversies in population and community ecology such as equilibrium theories which require data on resource requirements and loss rates. The long time series enables the detection of cycles in the abundance of individual species; to determine to stability of weed communities; it enables various weed investigations including weed population ecology; studies on the effects of fallowing on the weed seed bank; seed dormancy and persistence; agroecology and population dynamics of individual weed species. Recently, molecular approaches have been used to study the genetic diversity of weeds found on Section 8, this rare herbicide-free arable plot. On plots where inorganic nitrogen fertiliser has been applied, potential yield losses from weeds have consistently increased since 1969. This was explained by a warming climate, measured as air temperature averaged over the growing season for the weeds, and a shift towards shorter crop cultivars (Storkey et al 2021). Weeds on Broadbalk may genetically more competitive now due to selection for more competitive individuals This dataset also provides the yields of the plots both with and without the weight of the weed seeds. The percentage of weed seeds in the total grain varies between greatly, between 1-71.8% of the total grain yield. The year 2012 was a particularly high weed year followed by 2007 and 2013. **Herbicide Resistance Studies:** This section 8 of Broadbalk is an important source of susceptible seed of the weed _Alopecurus myosuroides_, blackgrass. It provides an excellent standard susceptible strain for use in herbicide-resistance assays, as having never received herbicides the grass-weed has never evolved herbicide resistance. See "Herbicide resistance in _Alopecurus myosuroides_: The value of routine testing of seed samples submitted by farmers since 1985", Cook et al. Weed Research (2023). |

| Title | Carbon footprint models |
| Description | Graham MacAuliffe working on carbon footprint models that are generally carried out using average farm/regional/national statistics. This, however, does not give an indication of how the performance of individual animals affect greenhouse gas emissions. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2018 |
| Provided To Others? | No |
| Impact | Our paper (published in Cleaner Production) and subsequent data publication (published in Data-in-Brief) developed a novel method to account for these effects using the high resolution data collected at the North Wyke Farm Platform. We demonstrated that the performance of animals, in terms of liveweight gain or average daily gains, significantly affects a system's carbon footprint. The cause of this was largely determined with the finding that poorly performing animals' carbon footprints are exponentially rather than linearly larger than their better-performing counterparts. |

| Title | Effect of pasture composition in cattle grazed systems on soil properties and nutrient cycling: impact on herbage, soil and cattle excreta |
| Description | Full experimental details can be found in McAuliffe et al. (2020), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agee.2020.106978, and Segura et al. (2023), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.117096. The experiment took place on the North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP), a UK National Capability in SW England. The NWFP is split into a number of self-contained farms ('farmlets') that are managed according to different operation philosophies or practices. The NWFP is highly instrumented and monitored, and core NWFP datasets are open and include in-situ water flow and chemistry taken at 15-minute intervals; 15-minute Met measurements; 15-minute soil moisture measurements; 30-minute GHG emissions; soils, crop and botanical field survey data; livestock and crop performance data; and farm operational activities, and contextual information is also available. See https://nwfp.rothamsted.ac.uk/. At the time of the experiment, there were three farmlets on the NWFP with different pasture management strategies. Permanent pasture (PP), a perennial ryegrass monoculture (HS) which was sown with a high sugar Lolium perenne cv. AberMagic, and a white clover/perennial ryegrass mix (WC) with the same ryegrass variety as the HS pasture. The PP and HS pastures received N fertilizer at a standard rate, but the WC pastures did not due to the inclusion of a legume. Fields within a farmlet are cut for silage and grazed by cattle and sheep, with livestock grazing or consuming silage only from one farmlet. This experiment used a single field from each farmlet, chosen as they represent a trio of fields that typically undergo very similar timings in agricultural management, such as grazing by the same species at the same time, as far as is feasible. Within each field there were three experimental blocks each containing six plots (2.5 x 1.5 m). Each of the six plots within a block were randomised to controls or treatments. Treatments were dung, cattle urine, or synthetic urine. The dung was collected from fields within a farmlet, homogenised using a concrete mixer, and refrigerated in sealed barrels until application on the plots. Cattle urine was collected from cattle within a farmlet over the period of a couple of days, bulked, and frozen until application on the plots. Synthetic urine was included as a treatment to investigate the effect of pasture composition on N2O emissions to be tested without the confounding effects of different urine compositions. Three plots within each block were controls. One control plot in each block received no N fertilizer, while the other two plots in the PP and HS blocks were controls plus N fertilizer to replicate the rest of the field; the WC blocks had three controls with no N fertilizer as this farmlet does not receive N fertilizer. In some cases, only one of the two plus N fertilizer controls were analysed for some of the measurements. This dataset contains data on herbage yield; soil moisture; soil physical properties (bulk density, mean weight density, soil loss through 50 µm sieve); soil chemistry (various measures of carbon and nitrogen content, pH and ergosterol); herbage and manure total carbon and nitrogen; micro- and macronutrient concentrations of herbage, soil, urine and manure; and earthworm counts. Urine and manure are characterised before being applied as treatments, while soil and forage samples were taken at various time points from shortly before the application of treatments through to several months later. In the case of the micro- and macronutrient content of soil as assessed by ICP, baseline samples - taken prior to the implementation of the farmlet treatments - are also included. |

| Title | Elemental concentrations and growth characteristics of wild-type and cultivated varieties of pasture species |
| Description | The objective of the experiment that generated this dataset was to determine how pasture species (grasses, legumes and forbs) differ in their macro- and micronutrients concentrations and growth traits. Cultivated and wild-type varieties of species were grown as it was hypothesised that breeding of cultivated varieties that respond well to inorganic NPK fertilizers may have resulted in plants that have fewer traits that enable them to acquire other macro- and micronutrients from soil. Data includes: • Plant yield • Macro- and micronutrient concentrations (and some potentially toxic elements): Al, As, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, I, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Mi, P, Pb, S, Se, Ti, and Zn. Note that nitrogen was not measured. • Plant traits: leaf mass, root mass, aboveground dry weight, leaf area. • Growing medium total and extractable element concentrations, plus pH and cation exchange capacity. |

| Description | This dataset comprises both original outputs generated by the authors (i.e. the Ecosystem Services Provision Index estimated from remote sensing and which can be used as a proxy for carbon inputs to the soil) and derived data obtained after processing data from different sources from 1995 to 2022. This dataset refers to yearly-estimated features for the fields included in the North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP), a farm-scale experimental system established in southwestern England in 2010 (Orr et al., 2016). These features refer to weather conditions, topography, soil characteristics and farming management. Together with ESPI, the variables included in this dataset have been used to predict soil organic carbon at the NWFP (Segura et al., 2023). However, its use does not have to be limited to this sole objective. The Ecosystem Services Provision Index (ESPI) was estimated using remote sensing and the methods described in Segura et al. (2023) for the period 1995 to 2022. However, note that only the period from 2012 to 2021 has been used in the manuscript to coincide with data availability from the Farm Platform. To create this dataset, raw data relating to soil properties and field events from 2012 to 2021 were downloaded from the NWFP Data Portal (https://nwfp.rothamsted.ac.uk/) for data processing. From the field survey data, we downloaded relevant soil chemical properties (0-10 cm depth) - total carbon(referred to as soil organic carbon in the manuscript arising from this data), total nitrogen, available phosphorus (as Olsen phosphorus), available potassium, and pH. For a given variable, measurements were averaged to provide a single value per field, per year. Note that due to some adjustments made to homogenise field names over time, there may be a mismatch for some fields between the Data Portal and this dataset. Field event records, relating to daily farm management activities, were also obtained from the NWFP data portal. In this dataset, these farm field events records were interpreted to construct the variables related to the main farming management practices by year and by field. The data from the NWFP data portal are free to access after registration on the portal. North Wyke Farm Platform and Data Portal user guides are available for more detailed information about soil measurements and field events. In particular, the Design, Establishment and Development of the NWFP (https://doi.org/10.23637/rothamsted.98y1x), the user guide for field survey data https://doi.org/10.23637/rothamsted.98y51), the User Guide to Field Events (https://doi.org/10.23637/rothamsted.98y4z) and the User Guide to Livestock data (https://doi.org/10.23637/rothamsted.98y50). The soil units (which show the predominant soil series in a location, according to the British soil classification) were extracted from the report Soils of North Wyke [Harrod and Hogan, 2008]. Meteorological data (monthly mean temperature and monthly precipitation) were provided by a weather station owned and operated by the UK Meteorological Office at North Wyke. Field terrain attributes (aspect and slope) were determined using Google Earth Engine according to the methods described in Segura et al. (2023), or by using the information provided in https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1029/2005RG000183 and https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/USGS_SRTMGL1_003. A full set of variables included in this dataset can be consulted in Columns_units_and_descriptors.csv, which also includes a description of each data column and the units of measurement. The text file main_analyses_figures_code.txt can be used along with the data file to reproduce the main results in Segura et al. (2023). Additional information The North Wyke Farm Platform is a UK National Capability supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBS/E/C/000J0100).

| Title | Micro- and macro-elements in sheep excreta after consumption of feed supplements according to supplement formulation and level |
| Description | In this experiment, sheep were given mineral supplements in their feed containing selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu), with four treatments: two forms of the supplement (micronutrients in organic or inorganic compounds in the feed), and two levels of supplement dosing (higher or lower). The mass of excreta (faeces and urine) and the concentration of micro- and macro-nutrients in the excreta were measured over the course of the feeding trial. The trial was conducted over four weeks; the first two weeks were a baseline period and were followed by two weeks of feed that included the supplements. Data presented include: sheep mass and body condition throughout the experiment; the mass of silage and concentrate feed consumed by sheep and its macro- and micro-nutrient contents; the volume of urine and the mass of faeces excreted and their macro- and micro-nutrient contents; and the results of a preliminary trial to assess whether drying of the sheep faeces affects the measurement of macro- and micro-nutrients by ICP analysis. In addition to the micronutrients in the supplements, data are presented for P, S, Fe, Mo, and Cd, plus Al, As, Ca, Co, Cr, K, Mg, Na, Ni, Pb, and Ti in the feed only. Animals were assessed daily for health and well-being, as determined by alertness, feed and water intake. All animal procedures and the care for the animals were carried out under strict regulations described in the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 issued by the Home Office of Her Majesty's Britannic Government under the Project License number P592D2677. |

| Title | Movement of micro- and macronutrients from sheep excreta to grass and leachate via soil |
| Description | This dataset originates from an experiment designed to determine the fate of micro- and macronutrients from sheep excreta after application to soils seeded with grass. The experiment was conducted as a pot experiment in a controlled environment growing room over a period of approximately 7 weeks. Two soils were used, chosen because they were of the same soil type but with different organic matter contents. Sheep excreta (urine and faeces) originated from a feeding trial where sheep were given feed supplements where micronutrients were in either an organic or inorganic form, and full information on this feeding trial and the characterisation of the excreta are given in a linked dataset (https://doi.org/10.23637/rothamsted.98883). For the organic-supplemented sheep excreta and the inorganic-supplemented sheep excreta separately, excreta were applied to the soil as either urine only, faeces only, or a combination of faeces and urine, plus there was an untreated control. Measurements include leachate volume; grass yield; soil pH from before, during and after the experimental period; and macro- and micro-nutrient concentrations of soil prior to the experiment (total and available concentrations), grass (total concentrations) and leachate (total concentrations) and soil total carbon and nitrogen after the experiment. Grass was cut on 4 occasions and leachate collected 3 times. |

| Title | Rothamsted long-term liming experiment crop yield 1962-1996 |
| Description | The experiment tests the effects of different amounts of lime (and thus soil pH), P and K on the yields of a sequence of arable crops, on a silty clay loam soil at Rothamsted Experimental Farm, from 1962-1996. Mg, Mn and S were tested on split plots at different times. Target soil pH was 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5. There is a parallel experiment at Woburn Experimental Farm. Since 1997 the experiment has been in grass. The dataset contains plot and sub-plot yields for all plots and years, 1962-1996, details of all treatments applied (lime, P, K, Mg, Mn and S), and agronomic details (crop variety, sowing and harvest date, basal fertilizer). |

| Title | Spatial and bulked soil and herbage selenium concentrations in different pasture types in SW England |
| Description | The data included in this dataset are selenium (Se) concentrations of soil and herbage from a number of pasture fields, with additional soil, herbage and farm management data either available as part of this data package or in linked sources. For 20 fields, bulked soil samples and bulked herbage samples (not from the same locations) were taken to be representative of the fields. For three of these fields, additional sampling at point locations was undertaken, with both soil and herbage being taken from the same places. For herbage and soil, total Se was measured. In addition, soil Se bioavailability was assessed through sequential fractionation. Fractions F0 and F1 (see below for methods) are assumed to be soluble Se; fraction F2 is exchangeable Se; fraction F3 is associated with Fe, Al and Mn oxides, carbonates and hydrolysable organic matter, and is assumed to be not readily available to plants; fraction F4 is the residual fraction that is elemental, insoluble and unavailable. The experiment took place on the North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP), a UK National Capability in SW England. The NWFP is split into a number of self-contained farms ('farmlets') that are managed according to different operation philosophies or practices. At the time of the experiment, there were three farmlets on the NWFP with different pasture management strategies. Permanent pasture (PP), a perennial ryegrass monoculture (HS) which was sown with a high sugar Lolium perenne cv. AberMagic, and a white clover/perennial ryegrass mix (WC) with the same ryegrass variety as the HS pasture. The PP and HS pastures received N fertilizer at a standard rate, but the WC pastures did not due to the inclusion of a legume. Fields within a farmlet are cut for silage and grazed by cattle and sheep. The NWFP is highly instrumented and monitored, and core NWFP datasets are open and include in-situ water flow and chemistry taken at 15-minute intervals; 15-minute Met measurements; 15-minute soil moisture measurements; 30-minute GHG emissions; soils, crop and botanical field survey data; livestock and crop performance data; and farm operational activities, and contextual information is also available. See https://nwfp.rothamsted.ac.uk/. Registration is required, but all data is freely available for download. Further information about the NWFP, including Guides and Information about the data collected, are available at http://resources.rothamsted.ac.uk/farmplatform. |

| Title | Spatial life cycle impact assessment data for catchment scale acidification and eutrophication potentials |
| Description | The dataset presented here represents raw and analysed data for a catchment scale life cycle assessment of arable and livestock farming in the UK. The general hypothesis was that implementing on-farm interventions would reduce impacts to water quality in the study site. Input data were collected via a large-scale survey of commercial farmers in the East of England and subsequently collated into two separate farm typologies (arable and livestock). Once the input data were collated into a life cycle inventory, acidification and eutrophication potentials were calculated for each typology, catchment, and a range of scenarios which explore both individual and combined mitigation strategies at the farm-level. Each intervention (or combination of interventions) were compared with baseline farming activities (i.e., production without any consideration of mitigation) to determine how optimised management could reduce impacts to water quality. The arable interventions considered were: AA (All interventions); AB (Fertiliser); AC (Water management); AD (Machinery); AE (Zero tillage); AF (Cover crop). The livestock interventions considered were: LA (All interventions); LB (Fertiliser); LC (Water management); LD (Machinery); LE (Livestock management). Whilst Farm ID numbers need to be anonymised to protect farmers' identities, 1-22 represent arable farm typologies in the study site whilst IDs 23 and 24 represent median and mean arable typologies; IDs 25-37, on the other hand, represent livestock farm typologies in the study site whilst IDs 38 and 39 represent median and mean livestock typologies. The data underpinning the relevant study demonstrates that managing farm-based machinery optimally can make notable differences (~10% improvement) to water quality in the study site. |

| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | Project Lead(s): Dr Martin Blackwell (Rothamsted Research); Prof Alexandre Berndt (Embrapa Southeast Livestock) Project Members: Prof Michael Lee (Rothamsted Research); Dr Jordana Rivero-Viera (Rothamsted Research); Dr Tara Takahashi (Rothamsted Research); Dr Julio Cesar P. Palhares (Embrapa Southeast Livestock); Dr Marilia Follegati (Embrapa Southeast Livestock). Project Start date: June 2018 Duration: 6 months Project Summary Research into the efficiency of ruminant livestock production systems around the world is a key focus of food security research. Research has focused on their environmental impact, the nutritional quality of food they produce and the potential benefit of utilising poor land (not suitable for arable production), by-products and nutrient recycling in mixed crop-livestock systems. Two of the leading research institutes in this research area are Embrapa (Brazil) and Rothamsted Research (UK), both of whom have some of the most advanced facilities to investigate the impact and efficiency of ruminant livestock production systems relevant to Brazil and the UK, namely the Grazing Beef Cattle Production Systems Platform in Sao Carlos and the North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP) in Devon, respectively. This proposal is for funds to enable an initial exchange of scientists from both countries to learn about the different types of production systems, the research being carried out on them, the types and frequency of data available from them, opportunities for co-working and ultimately alignment of the datasets required to facilitate comparison of them via co-publication of comprehensive nutrient use efficiency, animal performance, product quality, animal welfare and life cycle assessments. There are many similarities between the two research facilities, with some of the most advanced technologies for this type of research being employed (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions (including Greenfeed systems), faecal and urine deposition tracking, breeding programmes, soil quality analyses, etc.). There is a strong case for the Sao Carlos research facility to be included in the Global Farm Platform (an FAO recognised initiative involving 14 research farms around the globe of which NWFP is a founding member), and through the proposed exchanges this will also be facilitated. Embrapa colleagues visited Rothamsted Research North Wyke and Harpenden in June 2018, and reciprocal visit was made by the Rothamsted participants to Embrapa Sao Carlos in December 2018. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Embrapa colleagues provided their time and expertise to discuss collaborations and co-develop proposals. |
| Impact | This collaboration has resulted in Embrapa officially joining the Global Farm Platform Network. |

| Organisation | Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation |
| Country | Australia |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | The main activity by Rothamsted Researchers (Dr Tegan darch) is to visit CSIRO in Canberra and co-develop and carry-out experiments on mixed swards and other pasture treatments. A reciprocal visit will take place in summer 2020 when Rebecca Stutz will visit Rothamsted Research's North Wyke Farm Platform. Dr Darch will be exposed to the broad range of activities in the pastures, cropping and soils groups while also undertaking specific experimental work to transfer skills and methodologies for assessing nutrient-use efficiency in mixed pasture swards. Specifically: • Visits to key experiment field sites that showcase CSIRO's forage research (including forage options to fill summer feed gaps, novel legumes with reduced reliance on P fertiliser, understanding the scope of soil S deficiency on pasture productivity). • Visit to the new Boorowa Agricultural Research Station and discussions regarding whole-farm mapping and digital integration. • Discussions with CSIRO scientists on the topics of pasture, cropping systems, and soils, and on current research work and emerging challenges. Discussions with CSIRO collaborators, particularly scientists in the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Farmer Groups, with whom CSIRO conducts much of its applied research on farms. • Controlled-environment experimentation to assess how root and shoot competition in pasture swards affects P acquisition efficiency. Transfer of skills in root assessment . • Review areas for potential future collaboration/ joint projects. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Dr Rebecca Stutz will be hosted by Dr Tegan Darch and Dr Martin Blackwell at Rothamsted Research, North Wyke in summer 2020. Activities will allow Dr Stutz to gain an understanding of the facilities and current research activity at North Wyke and in the wider UK climate, while undertaking experimental work to gain skills in measuring micro-nutrients in forages. • Experience the North Wyke Farm Platform to see management, instrumentation, and data analysis from the Farm Platform. Dr Stutz will meet other researchers involved with the Farm Platform, including those doing life-cycle and economic modelling of the systems and will bring learnings knowledge back to inform CSIRO's development of the Boorowa Digitally-Integrated Farm Management System. • Visit field experiments/ controlled environment experiments. For example, a plot-scale experiment looking at different sward establishment methods, species richness, and seeding rate of multispecies swards; a pot trial looking at micronutrient uptake of monoculture and mixed sward pasture species; and field trials investigating 'controlled rotational grazing' relative to less intensive grazing. There will also be the opportunity to visit other facilities on site, such as the new Small Ruminant Facility, which will house highly-controlled and monitored sheep trials, and can be used, for example, for feeding trials of different herbage mixtures and where all excreta can be collected and analysed for nutrient content. • Experimentation to quantify the spatial variability of soil macro- and micro-nutrients, and the variability of herbage concentrations of those nutrients in the overlying herbage. • Review areas for potential future collaboration/ joint projects. • Rebecca will be invited to give a presentation to SAS-NW, maximising the benefit of the exchange and future collaborative opportunities, by ensure that the group are fully aware of the skills and research interests of CSIROs Productive forages team. |
