Developing a satellite-based combined land degradation index for monitoring environmental change: A case study in Tana-Beles watershed, Upper Blue Nile, Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132853
Abstract
Land degradation is one of the most pressing environmental challenges due to its effect on the people and ecosystem. Early detection of land degradation could help to avoid further deterioration and work on reversing the trend. This would require an integrated approach combining indicators such as vegetation condition, soil health…

Assessing farmer preferences for adoption of nature-positive interventions: Which technologies and at what cost?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/180771
Abstract
A choice experiment with 120 farmers in northern Vietnam assessed preferences for adopting nature positive farming practices. In more than 99% of choices, farmers favoured adopting nature-positive practices over the current situation. Farmers showed the highest willingness to pay for practices that reduce need for chemical inputs or labour requirements, and provide reliable…

Data - A major FT/TFL1 regulatory locus (Meflwr13) controls flowering time in cassava and provides validated markers for accelerated breeding
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182305
Abstract
Flowering in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is crucial for botanical seed production in breeding programs, but genetic improvement is severely hindered by highly variable, late, or absent flowering in many farmerpreferred genotypes. This challenge prolongs breeding cycles and necessitates costly, labor-intensive flower induction technologies. To…

Kenya soil health data
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/182304
Abstract
This dataset contains soil health data set from multiple agronomic trials conducted in different regions in Kenya. It captures information on crop yield responses to cropping systems, field management practices, fertilizer regimes, manure, crop residues, and lime, across different agro-ecological conditions, seasons, and years. The data is suitable for soil health related analysis, yield modelling, and evaluation of sustainable land management practices.
