Data Files and Code for: Spatio-temporal patterns of crops and agrochemicals in Canada over 35 years

Description: An analysis of historical data on agrochemical applications (proportion of cropland treated with pesticides and fertilizers) and crop types (proportion of cropland in specific crop groups) to identify and interpret spatial and temporal trends in Canada’s agricultural practices. Data used were part of the Canadian Census of Agriculture, spanning eight censuses and 35 years (1981-2016), across more than 260 census division units.
