The Ohio MSEA consists of a core project and 26 Specific Research Activities (SRAs). The core project collects data needed to evaluate the impact of agricultural management systems on productivity and water quality and also provides baseline data for many of the SRAs. The SRAs perform more basic research on processes of great interest to but not directly part of the core project. Core project data are collected according to a standard set of protocols developed either regionally or within the Ohio MSEA.
