Abstract
Soil erosion and runoff data are collected at three sites in eastern Austria using field erosion plots. Observed treatments include 1) conventional tillage with plough (CT), 2) mulch tillage with winter cover crop (MT), and 3) no-till with winter cover crop (NT). Data cover a time span from 1994 to 2018. They include data about surface runoff, soil loss, nitrogen, phosphorus and soil organic carbon losses as well as cop yields associated with the erosion processes. Interpretation of the data will be found in “Long-term experience with conservation tillage practices in Austria: impacts on soil erosion processes” [1].

Summary
The experiments were conducted at three sites in eastern Austria: in Mistelbach, Pixendorf and Pyhra. The soils in Mistelbach and Pyhra are classified as Typic Argiudolls while the soil in Pixendorf is an Entic Hapludoll. Soil textures range from silt loam to loam. Average annual rainfall (19942018) at the sites amounts from 621 to 916 mm with average annual air temperatures between 9.4 and 10.4°C. Following soil tillage treatments were investigated: (1) conventional tillage system with ploughing in fall (CT), (2) mulch tillage with cover crops during winter (MT) and (3) no-till with cover crops during winter (NT). The study design was a randomized block and each treatment was replicated twice
