Abstract Knowledge Graphs organize and connect disparate data for integrating information in a user‐friendly interface for recommendations and applications. This analytical tool for supporting data interrogation has not been widely applied in agronomy. This article focuses on Knowledge Graph applicability and specifically the utility of the recently released Esri ArcGIS Knowledge platform for identifying system resilience using a community‐driven database (Forage Data Hub; 52,997 entries from 108 unique locations over 51 years) comprising legacy datasets encompassing multiple temporal and spatial scales. Overall, perennial systems had greater drought risk resilience estimates (DRRE) than annuals, with alfalfa (Medicago sativa) having a “very high” DRRE across ecoregions. Knowledge Graphs provided information on how geography and agronomic systems interact to impact resilience. Results can be used to design agricultural systems within specific geographic locations with greater resilience and stability in the face of a changing climate per geographic region. 

Abstract Various soil health indicators that measure a chemically defined fraction of nitrogen (N) or a process related to N cycling have been proposed to quantify the potential to supply N to crops, a key soil function. We evaluated five N indicators (total soil N, autoclavable citrate extractable N, water‐extractable organic N, potentially mineralizable N, andN‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminidase activity) at 124 sites with long‐term experiments across North America evaluating a variety of managements. We found that 59%–81% of the variation in N indicators was among sites, with indicator values decreasing with temperature and increasing with precipitation and clay content. The N indicators increased from 6%–39% in response to decreasing tillage, cover cropping, retaining residue, and applying organic sources of nutrients. Overall, increasing the quantity of organic inputs, whether from increased residue retention, cover cropping, or rotations with higher biomass, resulted in higher values of the N indicators. Although N indicators responded to management in similar ways, the analysis cost and availability of testing laboratories is highly variable. Further, given the strong relationships of the N indicators with carbon (C) indicators, measuring soil organic C along with 24‐h potential C mineralization could be used as a proxy for N supply instead of measuring potentially mineralizable N or any other N indicator directly.
