Agri-Plast API Tutorial

This tutorial will guide on how to obtain and analyze data from Agri-Plast project - a collaborative research, development, and innovation project dedicated to reducing agricultural plastic waste (resíduos de plástico de uso agrícola, RPUA).

First, a simple “hands-on” tutorial will be presented to obtain the data via the DMPortal API - the platform where the datasets are stored. For that, “Temperature vs Humidity” dataset from measurements in a glasshouse where Vaccinium corymbosum (blueberry) plants exposed to soil microplastics (MPs) have grown will be used as example.

In a second case, more detailed dataset will be explored in more detail. Here it is suggested to use one where physiological changes - particularly in the photosynthetic system - of Vaccinium corymbosum plants were addressed in control conditions in comparison with plants in contaminated soil with two different MPs concentrations - Low (0.001%(w/w)) and High (0.05%(w/w)).

All Agri-Plast datasets can be accessed through the Dataverse portal at: https://dmportal.biodata.pt/dataverse/agri-plast/
