AmeriFlux US-SD2 Shatto Ditch Paired Cropland - Site 2 (Corn/Soy; Cover Crops)

This is the AmeriFlux version of the carbon flux data for the site US-SD2 Shatto Ditch Paired Cropland - Site 2 (Corn/Soy; Cover Crops). Site Description - US-SD2, located on gently sloped terrain, is an actively managed farmland operated by working farmers following a conventional no-till corn–soybean rotation in the U.S. Midwest. US-SD2 is one of two paired working farm sites which are relatively close by; both are managed using similar conventional practices with the key difference being that the paired site (US-SD1) incorporates cover crops into its rotation, along with minor differentiating terrain and soil type, where US-SD1 is located on mostly flat terrain with some gentle hills. This paired design enables direct site-to-site comparisons to assess the impacts of cover cropping on carbon, water, and energy fluxes.
