Summary

The Crops Dataset contains nineteen variables which represent
different crops sown in China. For each crop (variable) the number of
hectares of that crop sown are given. The following crops are
represented: Cereal Grains, Corn, Cotton, Double Season Rice, Green
Manure, Potatoes, Rapeseed, Rice and Rapeseed, Single Season Rice,
Spring Wheat, Sorghum, ... Soybeans, Sugarbeets, Sugarcane, Tobacco,
Vegetables, Winter Wheat, Winter Wheat and Corn, Winter Wheat and
Rice.

See the references for the sources of these data.

China County Data collection contains seven datasets which were
compiled in the early 1990s for use as inputs to the DNDC
(Denitrification-Decomposition) model at UNH. DNDC is a computer
simulation model for predicting carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)
biogeochemistry in agricultural ecosystems. The datasets were compiled
from multiple Chinese sources and all are at the county scale for
1990. The datasets which comprise this collection are listed below.

1) Agricultural Management
2) Crops
3) N-Deposition
4) Geography and Population
5) Land Use
6) Livestock
7) Soil Properties
