Description	The Farm Platform (FP) is a 4-farm research facility to study nutrient pathways from soil to food with the aim of making farming a more sustainable endeavour against the backdrop of climate change. A unique design with high-value data allows research outputs to be immediately relevant to real-world challenges. It has a strong national / international presence with capacity to facilitate both detailed and broad studies. The following 26 Collaborations, Partnerships and Research Projects have used or continue to use the FP facility or data in some manner: (1) studies on deep rooting grasses as a component of the BBSRC-LINK 'SUREROOT' project (including industry partners - Germinal Seeds, Waitrose, Stonegate Farmers and more, the British Grassland Society, AHDB and IBERS National Plant Phenomics Centre - another NC) (BBSRC link; 2012-19); (2) Sustainable Intensification Research Platform ('SIP' 1 and 2 - DEFRA 2014-2017) where FP data was used to define temperate low-grassland systems; (3) CIEL Agri-Tech centre where North Wyke represents its grazing research centre of excellence in ruminants - collaboration that has included capital funds for enhanced water and gaseous emissions sensing (Innovate UK; 2015-onwards), (4) industry consultancy via the 'Silage Solutions' project (2015-20), (5) industry-led 'Alltech' project investigating minerals on farm and silage quality (2016-21); (6) improving Nitrogen agronomy through the UK China 'CINAG' project (BSSRC/NERC Newton fund; 2016-18); (7) INIA (Uruguay) partnering award for development of agricultural sustainability metrics (BBSRC 2016-19), (8) CEH/RRes 'ASSIST' ISP (BBSRC/NERC; 2016-2022); (9) SME-led projects based out of the Environment Futures and Big Data Impact Lab, (e.g. water harvesting and smart lagoon with 'SDS', remote sensing of soil moisture with 'Pixalytics', IoT soil and water sensing with 'BT'/'Redpill', precision livestock app. with 'Breedr') (ERDF 2017-21); (10) on-farm antimicrobial resistance project (NERC; 2017-2019); (11) RRes 'S2N' ISP (BBSRC; 2017-2023); (12) CIEL and John Deere forage harvester project with NIR sensing for grass yield (Innovate UK; 2018); (13) CIEL and the University of Bristol rumen e-boluses project for livestock welfare (Innovate UK; 2018); (14) data integration project for the four UK Agri-Tech centres (Innovate UK; 2018); (15) 'Monitoring Soil Carbon' project with Duchy College, University of Plymouth and Cornish SMEs (ERDF Cornwall; 2018-21); (16) visualization of agricultural field performance through low-cost modelling ('VizAg') with SME GlasData (ERDF Cornwall; 2018-21); (17) multi-species sward ('TOMS') project with Duchy College and Cornish SMEs (ERDF Cornwall; 2018-20) - which links to an EU H2020 project ('IWMPAISE') on weed ecology and also the 'Silage Solutions' project, above; (18) Global Farm Platform Networks ('GFP') Capacity (NLGCA 2019-21); (19) CIEL and BBSRC funded Orr Small Ruminants Facility ('SRF'), (20) NERC Capital grant for enhanced water sensors (2021); (21) the National 'GrassCheckGB' project comprising 50 livestock farms for intensive 'crowd-sourced' data collection with forecasts published as a weekly article in the Farmers Guardian newspaper every Friday to help commercial farmers' decision making, (2019-22); (22) haylage nutrition quality with The Donkey Sanctuary (2019-21); (23) an 'ASSIST' ISP sub-project validating the Grassland Ecosystem Services Tool (2019); (24) GFP collaboration with Embrapa (Brazil) for sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) CH4 measurements from cattle (2019-); (25) RRes-CSIRO (Australia) link for improving nutrient use efficiency in grazed systems (2020-); and (26) collaboration with Duchy's Future Farm (2020-). The FP's influence is not specific to South-West England, as scaling out strategies are possible by linking FP data to farming data from other sources. For example: (i) scaling out using the 'GrassCheckGB' national network (see above); and (ii) scaling out to the 1843 km2 of lowland grazing farming that the FP is representative of in terms of environmental factors and farm system (Collins et al. 2021 DOI:10.1016/j.envsci.2020.11.004) using a national scale simulation framework of virtual farms constructed using multiple data sources. For the latter, data sources include that from the June Agricultural Survey, bespoke farm surveys of land use, implementation of best management and farmer attitudes to best management interventions and experimental / monitoring evidence from the Defra DTC, SIP and NVZ monitoring programmes, as well as international literature. Remote sensing similarly provides opportunities for scaling out, as demonstrated with the FP study on simulating sub-field scale C dynamics (Myrgiotis et al 2021 DOI:10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108466); and the Impact Lab FP project to predict soil moisture (see above). Further national influence is achieved through linking FP collections to established monitoring networks. For example, via the Environmental Change Network (ECN) which monitors biodiversity on- and off-FP at NW, or for example, as an LTE of the Ecological Continuity Trust (FP joined in 2019). NW's shared expertise in environmental monitoring contributed to a review of ECN collections moving forward. The GFP provides internationally linkages (https://globalfarmplatform.org/) where the FP is a founding member. The GFP consists of 25 partners and research sites, where our agri-informatics expertise provided leadership in the identification of core data collections across the network for the coherent derivations of a globally relevant set of sustainability metrics. A 3-day GFP workshop hosted at NW in early 2020 refined these metrics and outlined a series of GFP articles, including a study on livestock trait identification for diverse global production systems (Rivero et al 2021 DOI:10.1071/RD20205). Further NW-led GFP activities include the running of a 3-day training workshop in Spatial Analysis at INIA (Uruguay) late 2019. The wider benefits of the FP are shown through specific reporting indicators where, 64% of registered users of the online data portal are from academic institutions (of which 64% is external to RRes) while 36% are outside of academia; and 41% of the 140 FP experiments were conducted solely through RRes staff, while 59% were conducted with at least one external collaborator. The FP has been represented at 68 research-focused events and 44 industry-focussed events, many of which have been held at North Wyke. Notable events include attendance at 'Grassland and Muck', Stoneleigh 2017 and the BBSRC Innovation Hub at the Oxford Farming Conferences in 2019, 2020 and 2021 where the latest FP research outputs were exhibited. There have been over 90 visits to the FP, including visits by HRH Princess Royal and by Mel Stride MP (former Leader of the House of Commons). All of which have helped raise the profile of the FP experiment. Engagement with local farmer networks is possible via the Research Advisory Group, but also farmer networks that has been established in the Upper River Taw Observatory, the catchment area for the FP, via work from the S2N ISP; and from the 'Monitoring Soil Carbon' and S2N's Agroforestry projects. Farmer networks ensure engagement with key sectors and potentially the inclusion of on-farm data as model inputs to scaling out projects. NW scientists and FP research contributed strongly to CIEL's 2020 'Net Zero Carbon and UK livestock' report that highlighted the need to use / develop advanced technologies (as used on the FP) for solutions to mitigate against C emissions (https://www.cielivestock.co.uk/net-zero-carbon-and-uk-livestock/). Our unique knowledge in the setting up and running of the platform has allowed us to guide others in best practise for platform design, data management and data QC. In this respect, we have hosted and delivered seminars to delegations from Bristol Veterinary School (University of Bristol), University of Leeds (Leeds University Farm), Harper Adams University, Agrimetrics, Ecological Continuity Trust, Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (Ulster University linked to AFBI report), Scotland's Rural University College, University College Dublin (Ireland), Teagasc (Ireland), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Agricultural University, Embrapa (Brazil), INIA (Uruguay), a FCDO UK-India Agri-innovation link up and University of Melbourne (Australia). Furthermore, we have shared our data expertise through two linked webinars to groups from USDA/LTAR in the US and have given invited presentations at a soils workshop in Upsalla, Sweden and a water quality monitoring workshop in Cork. Further guidance includes contribution to a 'Young Scientists' international workshop on water pollution and its mitigation - new understanding from instrumented farm and landscape scale platforms'. Increasingly, the FP is transitioning to a digital, technology-driven monitoring platform embracing advances in Data Science (AI methodologies), Sensor Engineering, Sensor/data Communication via Internet of Things (IoT) using narrowband (5G) / LoRaWan technologies, drone and satellite remote sensing, and application development for Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and Digital Twins (DTs). Links to Data Science have been established through the Environment Futures and Big Data Impact Lab led by Exeter University (with RRes, University of Plymouth, Plymouth Marine Lab, Exeter City Futures and Plymouth College of Art as partners) and its projects (listed above), AI workshops (e.g., BBSRC AI in Biology, Norwich, Jean Goulding Institute and Alan Turing Institute workshops) and Open Data workshops (e.g., ESA, Stoke Climsand and Jumpstart Agri-Tech, Penryn). Links to Sensor Engineering have been established through UCL (primarily via the cattle-based sensors used in S2N), Exeter University (where an FP experiment has a co-located low-cost EC tower with that on the FP) and Open University. A DST is in development which consists of a scaled-down process-based model that has used FP data for its validation. Farm-scale DT initiatives that couple process-based models with IoT sensing are also in place, with FP DT conference presentations (e.g., Wageningen, Netherlands) and collaborations (e.g., the Alan Turing Institute). Through the ERDF Cornwall monitoring soil carbon project, collaborative links have also been established with the agricultural robotics group at the University of Plymouth. The FP as a sensor testbed has been mooted since its inception, where a dedicated webpage (http://resources.rothamsted.ac.uk/north-wyke-farm-platform/north-wyke-and-farm-platform-test-bed-advances-sensor-technologies), details GHG (low-cost EC towers, SF6), sediment ('LISST' optical laser) and animal-based (GPS, mobile water troughs, rumen temperature boluses) sensing on the FP. The FP has benefitted from the wider NW site / science where FP grazing strategies and a potential 'blue' treatment transition were informed by off-FP ERDF Cornwall projects: 'TOMS' and cell grazing vs. set stocking ('Techno-grazing') (2018-21); where the latter has evolved into an S2N study on the drivers of soil compaction and associated influence on cattle CH4 emissions informed by soil surveys, GPS for animal movement and SF6 for emissions. Analyses of FP forage and silage data has been used to study losses during wilting and ensiling, where data can better parameterise models to simulate nutrient cycling. The silage projects had synergies with 'TOMS' and the haylage Donkey Sanctuary project (see above), where for the latter, NIRS-based analyte predictions of haylage quality from labs and from on-farm hand-held devices revealed large discrepancies amongst themselves and to the wet chemistry, also. Strategies have been set in place to continue the regional component to FP / NW research, via engagement with Local Economic Partnerships and Community Renewal Funds / UK Shared Prosperity Fund with links to initiatives in Cornwall Agritech 2.0, the Devon Agritech Alliance and the Digital Biosphere. Fundamental to the continued and efficient operation of the FP are the collective skillsets of the funded staff. Skillsets include those in (livestock and arable) farm management, agronomy, ecology, biodiversity, soil geochemistry, water instrumentation, GHG instrumentation, lab analysis, data curation, data management, data analysis, sample design and remote sensing. All FP staff are trained in subjects outside of the core expertise so that they can perform multiple roles to minimise single-point dependencies and promote team harmony. The FP has also contributed to the development of grassland research skills for students (bachelors/masters level projects), visiting researchers, post-doctoral researchers (funded on RRes projects) and PhD studentships. Visiting researchers include those with International Fellowships to study: 'Housed GHGs using the GreenFeed system' (RRes funded, 2017-18), 'Biochar from animal waste and impacts on soil fertility' (RRes funded, 2017-18) and 'Relationships between pasture species, soil characteristics and management inputs' (OECD funded, 2018). Student studies include a PhD study using 'LISST' optical lasers for measuring water-stable aggregates (Southampton); a PhD study using LCA on the FP's four systems (Leeds); and a masters study scoping the use of irrigated grassland (Plymouth). PhD awards are typically provided through Bangor, Bristol, Exeter, or Lancaster Universities. FP scientists have engaged actively with the Media, where in chronological order: (i) Dr Taro Takahashi featured in the Ecologist to discuss the 'benefits and dis-benefits of intensive farming'; (ii) Dr Taro Takahashi featured in the Guardian also to discuss the 'benefits and dis-benefits of intensive farming'; (iii) Professor Michael Lee took part in a BBC Newshour Extra debate live on Radio 4 on the 'role of meat in our diet for planetary and human health'; (iv) Dr Graham Mcauliffe, Dr Taro Takahashi and Professor Michael Lee were interviewed on BBC's Farming Today (Radio 4) for the press release of the LCA work of McAuliffe et al. 2018 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.10.113 (see above); (v) Dr Taro Takahashi appeared on BBC Breakfast presenting the new arable system on the FP; (vi) Professor Tom Misselbrook appeared on BBC's Farming Today (Radio 4) to discuss GHG assessment on the NWFP; (vii) Professor Tom Misselbrook appeared on BBC Spotlight News to again discuss GHG assessment on the NWFP; (viii) Professor Michael Lee appeared on Sky News, Aljazeera News and BBC Spotlight during the launch of the Small Ruminant Facility to discuss its potential to assess the role of livestock in food security; (ix) Dr Taro Takahashi appeared on BBC Points West and BBC 6 O'clock National News on the 'unintended economic consequences of veganism'; (x) Professor Michael Lee featured research from the FP on a Channel 4 documentary programme 'Meat the Family'; and (xi) an article on livestock performance in Farmer's Weekly. Invited policy-relevant webinars include that to Defra on the 'Implications of the mechanistic learning from the FP for on-farm policy for reducing environmental impacts of business-as-usual' (Professor Adie Collins); a UK-India Agri-innovation linkup FCDO on FP methodology. Invited conference keynotes include: 'Can the sediment pollution gap from intensive livestock farming be closed? Assessment using the NWFP' (Collins et al. Catchment Science 2019) and 'Digital Twins in Agriculture', 2nd international workshop on Environment-Driven Requirements Engineering (EnviRE) for software systems, Melbourne, Australia, 2022. Strategically, the FP and SRF facilities are "Ensuring that the UK bioscience community has access to the facilities, resources and services necessary to carry out ground-breaking research, and to support its translation into economic and societal impact" (Theme 3: Building strong foundations - Infrastructure; BBSRC's 'Forward Look for UK Bioscience'), where the FP is listed in UKRI's infrastructure initiative (https://www.ukri.org/research/infrastructure/), the associated portal https://www.infraportal.org.uk/); and continues to be recognised by the UN FAO as an exemplar research facility. The NC provides unique, relevant and timely open data products for "Delivering more productive, healthy, resilient and sustainable agriculture and food systems" (Theme 2: Tackling strategic challenges - Bioscience for sustainable agriculture and food; BBSRC's 'Forward Look for UK Bioscience') while at the same time "Addressing the complexity of the challenges by utilising multi-scale and systems approaches to agri-ecosystems" (a research priority and focus area for sustainable agriculture systems identified by BBSRC's 'Research in Agriculture and Food Security Strategic Framework'). All further findings are now being reported in the FP's subsequent grant - BBS/E/RH/23NB0008 - BBSRC National Bioscience Research Infrastructure: North Wyke Farm Platform.

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	Single time point sampling of site characteristics, soil parameters and soil greenhouse gas emissions for extensive and intensive sheep-farming sites in North Wales and Devon, 2016
Description	The data pertains to a single time point 'snapshot' spatial sampling of site characteristics, soil parameters and soil greenhouse gas emissions for two sites (Extensive and Intensive). The extensively managed site ('Extensive'; 240-340 m above sea level; a.s.l.) consisted of an 11.5 ha semi-improved, sheep-grazed pasture at Bangor University's Henfaes Research Station, Abergwyngregyn, North Wales (53°13'13''N, 4°0'34''W). The intensively managed site ('Intensive'; on average 160 m a.s.l.) was a 1.78 ha sheep-grazed pasture located in south-west England, at the North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP), Rothamsted Research, Okehampton, Devon (50°46'10''N, 30°54'05''W). At the Extensive site soil and gas sampling was conducted on 30th November 2016. At the Intensive site soil and gas sampling was conducted on 1st August 2016. The data contains: site characteristics including elevation, slope, compound topographic index, vegetation type or manure application, and sample point grid references; soil parameters including soil bulk density, soil percentage water-filled pore space, soil moisture, soil organic matter contents, soil pH, soil nitrate nitrogen concentration, soil ammonium nitrogen concentration, soil percentage total carbon contents, soil percentage total nitrogen contents, and carbon to nitrogen content ratio; and soil greenhouse gas flux data for nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane. The study was conducted as a wider part of the NERC funded Uplands-N2O project and BBSRC-supported Rothamsted Research, North Wyke Farm Platform (Grant Nos: NE/M015351/1, NE/M013847/1, NE/M013154/1, BBS/E/C/000J0100, BBS/E/C/000I0320, BBS/E/C/000I0330). Quantifying the spatial and variability of the drivers of greenhouse gas emissions and their interactions in grazing systems is critical to improve our understanding of nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane fluxes, enabling better estimates of aggregated greenhouse gas emissions and associated uncertainties at the landscape scale.

Title	The Importance of Scale in Spatially Varying Coefficient Modeling
Description	Although spatially varying coefficient (SVC) models have attracted considerable attention in applied science, they have been criticized as being unstable. The objective of this study is to show that capturing the "spatial scale" of each data relationship is crucially important to make SVC modeling more stable and, in doing so, adds flexibility. Here, the analytical properties of six SVC models are summarized in terms of their characterization of scale. Models are examined through a series of Monte Carlo simulation experiments to assess the extent to which spatial scale influences model stability and the accuracy of their SVC estimates. The following models are studied: (1) geographically weighted regression (GWR) with a fixed distance or (2) an adaptive distance bandwidth (GWRa); (3) flexible bandwidth GWR (FB-GWR) with fixed distance or (4) adaptive distance bandwidths (FB-GWRa); (5) eigenvector spatial filtering (ESF); and (6) random effects ESF (RE-ESF). Results reveal that the SVC models designed to capture scale dependencies in local relationships (FB-GWR, FB-GWRa, and RE-ESF) most accurately estimate the simulated SVCs, where RE-ESF is the most computationally efficient. Conversely, GWR and ESF, where SVC estimates are naïvely assumed to operate at the same spatial scale for each relationship, perform poorly. Results also confirm that the adaptive bandwidth GWR models (GWRa and FB-GWRa) are superior to their fixed bandwidth counterparts (GWR and FB-GWR). Key Words: flexible bandwidth geographically weighted regression, Monte Carlo simulation, nonstationarity, random effects eigenvector spatial filtering, spatial scale.

PI Contribution	The Ecological Continuity Trust (ECT) is a charity that is developing a strategic network of long-term ecological experiments (LTEs) under different habitats in order to safeguard existing high quality experiments and data, and are helping to ensure that new facilities are planned for the long-term.The NWFP has been added to the ECT register of LTEs, of which there are currently 30 active experiments at 27 sites in the United Kingdom. The NWFP is listed as one of the ECT's grassland habitat sites and is using a systems-based approach to study the complete flow of nutrients from soil to food products with a view to understanding and developing sustainable ways of managing lowland grass-based livestock production. Due to its highly instrumented set-up and high detail of data recording, it is a valuable source of knowledge on the ecosystem services provided by this type of landscape. In particular, the NWFP can make comparisons between land that is continually managed as permanent pasture compared with non-permanent pasture systems and is able to provide long-term data-sets on the effects of land management on hydrology, water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, soil quality, animal health, meat quality, and biodiversity.
Collaborator Contribution	The ECT has established a network of key stakeholders that help champion the need to secure long-term experiments and the valuable science they produce so that future generations have the resources needed to manage systems in the face of environmental change. In addition, grants of up to £3000 are available (supported by the British Ecological Society) to help to fund research projects both within and between ECT registered sites, help to cover travel costs associated with communicating scientific findings and to help provide funds for essential maintenance or data curation activities.

PI Contribution	Background and scientific objectives The overall objective of this project is to develop collaborations and share knowledge between two world renowned research institutes with expertise in grassland/livestock research. Grasslands occupy over 40% of the global biosphere1 and contribute significantly to the global production of milk and meat, and thus are a vital factor in global food security. Pasture occupies 61% of the UK's agricultural land2. In Uruguay, the total area of grazed grassland amounts to 12.7 million hectares, representing 78% of Uruguay's agricultural land3. Both countries have similarities in their grassland-based animal production, whilst climate conditions offer a gradient that is pertinent for common discussion of methodological approaches, scientific advances and knowledge gaps.
Collaborator Contribution	Through a partnership between Rothamsted Research (RRes) in the UK and the Instituto National de Investigacion Agropecuaria (INIA) in Uruguay, we aim to develop farm and environmental metrics using long-term data from two grassland livestock experimental platforms with comparable climate but contrasting geographies and soil types by: • Promoting scientific exchange of knowledge and best practice through reciprocal visits and workshops involving research staff; • Promoting training through reciprocal visits and workshops involving students and early-career researchers; • Pooling resources and capacities through sharing of experimental and field facilities.

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.

Description	Rothamsted Research-CSIRO Linkage - Opportunities for improving nutrient use efficiency in grazed systems; from the rhizosphere to the farm scale
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.

Results and Impact	Soil scientists at Rothamsted Research are calling for a national strategy for managing soils to maximise carbon capture. They've raised concerns that payments under the newly announced Sustainable Farming Incentive - which will reward farmers in England for working to improve their soils - could create something of a postcode lottery, as some soils are able to sequester more carbon than others.
