Row crop and cover crop residue spectra from lab spectrometer and spaceborne PRISMA imagery, Maryland, USA., 20080801; 20210101-20220531.

This data release contains reflectance spectra of residue (senesced vegetation) for common row crops (corn, soybean, winter wheat) and cover crops (cereals, legumes, brassicas). Two-hundred and ninety-six cash and cover crop spectra were collected in the laboratory using Analytical Spectral Devices (ASD) spectrophotometers. Sixty-five physical samples were collected in the field that pair with the Italian Space Agency's spaceborne PRecursore IperSpettrale della Missione Applicativa (PRISMA) imaging spectrometer. The data release also contains biochemical trait concentrations (i.e., nitrogen, nonstructural carbohydrates, holocellulose, and lignin) from physical samples used to evaluate biochemical trait mapping of cash and crop cover residue. Data collection occurred at the USDA-ARS Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Beltsville, MD, USA or on the Eastern Shore of MD, USA between 2010 and 2022. The data, as well as the processes used to prepare and analyze them, are discussed in detail in a related interpretive summary:
