Effect of cropping systems and climate on soil physical characteristics, field crop emergence and yield: A dataset from a 19-year field experiment.

ABSTRACT: A long-term field experiment was conducted from 1989 to 2007 in northern France in a loamy soil to assess the cumulative effects of cropping systems (CSs) on soil compaction, soil porosity, soil structure, crop emergence and yield. Three CSs, including different crop rotations and cultivations (early or late sowing and harvesting), were compared. CS I was the succession of spring pea/winter wheat/oilseed rape (flax from 2001)/winter wheat while CSs II and III were the succession of sugar beet/winter wheat/maize/winter wheat. The latter two CSs consisted of different sowing dates, based on two distinct decision rules aimed at minimizing the risk of soil compaction in the CS II or maximizing the duration of the crop in the CS III. The tillage system was only mouldboard ploughing up to 2000 w
