Abstract

Abstract:

The Hexi Corridor is an important agricultural and ecological area in Gansu and Northwest China. The oasis agriculture in Hexi Corridor relies on abundant light and heat resources, predominantly operates through irrigated farming, and exhibits a notably diverse planting structure. This region is not only an important economic area, but also has significant agricultural distinctiveness and advantages in terms of diversity. The study area is located in the middle part of the Hexi Corridor, within the midstream region of the Heihe River Basin. It is one of the representatives of the oasis agricultural ecological zone in the Hexi Corridor. This region is not only a major grain-producing area in Gansu, but also faces challenges such as water resource scarcity, the coexistence of desertification and oasis expansion. The Gansu Linze National Field Scientific Observation and Research Station of Farmland Ecosystem, Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as Linze Station), has been a part of the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) since 2003. According to the protocols for CERN long-term observation, Linze Station has conducted long-term investigations on a range of indicators of farmland ecosystems, including cultivation practices, farming systems, harvest characteristics, and yield measurements at harvest time. This dataset compiles and organizes data from the Linze Station covering the period from 2004 to 2010 across four agricultural observation sites, including the Comprehensive Observation Site of Desert-Oasis Farmland Ecosystem, the Auxiliary Observation Site of Desert-Oasis Farmland Ecosystem, the New Oasis Farmland Survey Site, and the Old Oasis Farmland Survey Site. It includes long-term sampling data on crop rotation systems, fertilizer inputs, pesticide/herbicide/growth regulator applications, irrigation practices, harvest traits, and yield measurements at harvest time. This dataset is regional representative and provides foundational data for researchers to understand the water and fertilizer utilization mechanisms in typical irrigated agricultural areas of the Hexi Corridor. It also has significant value for constructing water-saving oases and sustainable development management in this region.
