Dataset (2022-2024) of the Austrian EOM field experiment in Grabenegg

Dataset description
This dataset describes the data generated in the course of the EJP Soil project EOM4SOIL. The dataset consists of soil data, yield data, nutrient content in the harvested crop, EOM properties and management data. The dataset contains six tabs, "Document meta data", "soil", "plants", "EOM", "agricultural management" and "meta". Tab "Document meta data" gives information on the authors, the data collection time frame, terms of use, etc. In "soil"  contains information on soil properties. "plants" contains yield data of silage maize (2022 and 2024) and spring wheat (2023) and macronutrient (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) content in the harvested crops. "EOM" contains EOM properties -nutrients and trace elements. "agricultural management" contains information about the arrangement and management of the treatments. "meta" contains information about the units and methods used. 

Project description
The EOM field experiment with organic amendments was established in 2022 at the AGES field station in Grabenegg. The organic amendments included biowaste compost, biochar, a combination of biowaste compost and biochar and biogas digestate from a waste plant. These EOM variants were compared with a control without fertilisation and an optimal mineral fertilisation variant. In addition, two NPK fertilised cover crop variants (one with  three and one with eight mixing partners) were included. This field experiment was part of the European Joint Program for SOIL ‘Towards climate-smart sustainable management of agricultural soils’ (EJP SOIL) funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant Agreement N° 862695). The internal project  EOM4SOIL aimed to investigate the effects of different organic amendments on soil health parameters, crop yields and nutrient dynamics in the soil-plant system. Furthermore, this experiment served as a basis for the measurements of, e.g., N2O and NH3 emissions and measurements related to N dynamics (e.g., soil NO3 and NH4).
