Guide to the Classical and other Long-term Experiments, Datasets and Sample Archive

It is a testament to the foresight of Sir John Lawes and Sir Henry Gilbert, as well as others who have come after them, that experiments established decades ago continue to reveal new insights and important findings of relevance to today’s agriculture and its interactions with our ever-changing environment. This has been particularly evident through the application of novel molecular techniques that have enabled studies on historical fluctuations in pathogen populations and pointed to intriguing differences in gene-expression associated with sources of crop nutrients. I am grateful to Paul Poulton and his colleagues for assembling this much revised summary of Rothamsted’s long-term experiments which, among other new sections, includes reference to the Insect Survey and e-RA (Electronic Rothamsted Archive).
