ERA Africa

The Evidence for Resilient Agriculture (ERA v1.0.1) dataset contains observations from agricultural studies conducted in Africa from 1934 to 2018. ERA examines the efficacy of agricultural practices on environmental, social, and agricultural-economic outcome indicators. For AGROSTAC the phenology (start and end) was extracted.

Pre-processing

Original data of file '01a. ERA_Compiled.csv' was filtered:

• Only include observations of arable annual crops
• Only extract the sowing and harvest date
• Harvest must be at least 30 days later than sowing <to be checked>

The unique name is constructed from the initial string 'ERA_Africa_', concatenated with the attributes:

• Site.Key
• DOI
• Product.Simple

and finally a sequence number in case if multiple treatments.

The comment is based on the following attributes:

• Site.Key
• DOI
• Product.Simple

The geometry accuracy is copied from the attribute Buffer.
