Agricultural Collaborative Research Outcomes System
The Agricultural Collaborative Research Outcomes System (AgCROS) is a USDA Agricultural Research Service "network of networks" that integrates multiple agricultural research databases into a single point of access. Its member networks include GRACEnet (Greenhouse gas Reduction through Agricultural Carbon Enhancement network), the Nutrient Uptake and Outcomes Network (NUOnet), Resilient Economic Agricultural Practices (REAP), the Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) Network, and others. AgCROS holds field-level data on soil properties, greenhouse gas fluxes, crop yields, and management practices from long-term agricultural experiments, and serves as the primary upstream data source for the Soil Organic Carbon Knowledge Graph (SOCKG).
