Land cover codes used in the rasters:
1: Agriculture
2: Forest
3: Bare soil
4: Urban
5: Water
6: Desert
7: Wetland

Tarp impacts on crop growth
These data demonstrate the impacts of tarps on crop (lettuce, Lactuca sativa) growth. We planted lettuce 1 week after tarp removal and surveyed lettuce growth 2, 3, and 4 weeks after tarp removal. We surveyed lettuce by randomly selecting 10 lettuce individuals in each plot (1 m x 2 m) and for each lettuce individual counting the number of leaves it contained and measuring the length and width of its largest leaf.

Tarp impacts on soil nitrate and soil moisture
These data demonstrate the impact of tarps on soil nitrate availability and soil moisture. We measured soil nitrate availability 2-3 days before and after tarp application and include the difference between these two time periods to show how tarps change soil nitrate availability. We additionally include here soil moisture measurements 3 weeks into the tarp application.

Tarp impacts on weed growth
These data demonstrate the impacts of tarps on weed growth. We surveyed weeds weekly for five weeks after tarp removal. Weeds were identified to species and we calculated species richness, Shannon’s diversity, and total cover (%) for each plot (plots were 1 m x 2 m). We additionally include the cover for specifically purslane, a weed species of interest.

Tarp impacts on soil temperature
These data show the impacts of tarps on soil temperature, and we present the raw continuous temperature measurements for 1 month during tarp application. We buried iButtons under 1 cm and 10 cm of soil in each plot to measure soil surface and soil temperature, respectively. Temperatures were automatically taken every 30 minutes, and specific time and dates of each soil or soil surface temperature measurement are given in the “Date_soil” and “Date_surface” columns, respectively.

Tarp impacts on crop yields
These data demonstrate the impact of tarps on crop yields (for lettuce, Lactuca sativa). We planted lettuce 1 week after tarp removal and harvested lettuce after 4 weeks of growth. At the time of harvest, we counted the number of lettuce individuals that grew within each plot (1 m x 2 m). We then harvested the lettuce and (after washing and drying it) measured the total weight (crop yield) of all lettuce individuals in each plot.
