dc.descriptionWe are extremely grateful to generations of staff at SRUC and its predecessor organisations (NOSCA and SAC) for maintaining the Woodlands Field experiments at Craibstone over 100 years and to I&N Campbell who carefully prepared the new site and moved the soils in July 2021. The move of the soils was funded by SRUC. The molecular analysis of the soils from the pH experiment was conducted within the Soil Biology and Soil Health (SBSH) Partnership, funded by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) and the British Beet Research Organisation (BBRO) in the United Kingdom. We also gratefully acknowledge many colleagues from research and consultancy organisations in the UK and Europe who contributed to discussions during the redesign process. Professor Tony Edwards and Dr John Baddeley were both integral to the decision to move and redesign the pH Experiment. We are grateful to Allan Lilly, James Hutton Institute for allowing us to archive soils from both Woodlands Field experiments in the National Soils Archive. Thank you to Rosie Boyko and Nicola Holden (SRUC) and John Elphinstone (FERA) for useful discussions on the new experimental designs and the manuscript.en
