The goal of drivesR is to facilitate data management and analysis for members of the Diverse Rotations Improve Valuable Ecosystems Services (DRIVES) Project and anyone interested in using the publicly-available portions of the DRIVES database.
The DRIVES database contains yield and weather data from 21 long-term agricultural field experiments with a crop rotation component. You can find out more about our research and participating sites at our website, drives-network.org/. Metadata and a full data inventory can be found at the DRIVES database repository on Ag Data Commons: https://hdl.handle.net/10779/USDA.ADC.28654694.
As of May 2025, access to DRIVES database requires an API key. Project members and collaborators can request an API key from the DRIVES data manager. Other users must complete our data use survey and agree to our data use terms. Outside users will have read access to a subset of the data excluding sites and site years embargoed from public access.
