"Description of columns"
"col country: country in which the LTE is located"
"col site: name of the LTE "
"col lte: LTE code"
"col year: year to which the record refers"
"col time: time elapsed from the beginning of the experiment/unchanged rotation, starting with 0 on the first year of implementation"
"col group: this variable combines replicate and and other treatments not related to rotational diversity - for use as random factor"
"col rot: rotation ID, combining the site name and a number relative to the local rotation"
"col seq: sequence of crops included in the rotation"
"col fert: characteristic of the fertilization - none, low, high, very high"
"col org: organic fertilization y/n"
"col wminN: whole rotation mineral N input per year, weighted by crop frequency in the rotation (kg/ha/yr)"
"col woN: whole rotation organic N input per year, weighted by crop frequency in the rotation (kg/ha/yr)"
"col rotduration: duration of the rotation (yrs)"
"col FR: functional richness, separating cereal monocultures and cereal only rotations (1M and 1C respectively)"
"col FR_ley: functional richness, with indication of the presence/absence of ley in the rotation"
"col totspeciesnum: number of species in the rotation"
"col cerealnum: number of cereal species in the rotation"
"col cerealdur: number of years in the rotation with cereals"
"col leynum: number of ley types in the rotation, where types is mixture or monoculture; in most cases, it is 0 (=no ley) or 1 (=ley is present)"
