Abstract
This data set contains a phenotypic information collected on a population of 334 S0:4 families extracted from synthetic population managed through recurrent selection and phenotyped in Colombia in 2020. The traits were recorded in two soil conditions (ALU: the naturally aluminum toxic soil condition, and LIM: after liming to correct the toxicity). The genotypic data was obtained on 334 S0 plants by GBS (Mse1 and Pst1…

Child malnutrition study
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/179964
Abstract
Child malnutrition is an early warning signal of instability. Recent research in Nigeria by CGIAR Climate Security shows that tracking rates of wasting can help predict where social tensions could erupt next. The researchers discovered that rising temperatures don’t trigger violence overnight. Instead, they quietly erode food systems until children begin to waste away and that’s when communities start to fracture.
