Winter cover crop biomass sampling at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, 2019-2021, with corresponding Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 derived indices and metrics
May 24, 2022
This data release contains in situ biomass samples collected from cereal grain winter cover crop fields at the USDA-ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, MD, in the winters of 2019-20 and 2020-21. It also contains corresponding spectral reflectance and radar data acquired from the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 satellite platforms on dates proximal to the biomass collection. Data are contained in a single csv file titled "BARC_2019-2021_WCC_dataset"

Integration of satellite-based optical and synthetic aperture radar imagery to estimate winter cover crop performance in cereal grasses
The magnitude of ecosystem services provided by winter cover crops is linked to their performance (i.e., biomass and associated nitrogen content, forage quality, and fractional ground cover), although few studies quantify these characteristics across the landscape. Remote sensing can produce landscape-level assessments of cover crop performance. However, commonly employed optical vegetation indice
