A monitoring and evaluation framework on capacity-strengthening for gender-and youth-responsive research: A user guide
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/159428
Abstract
The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework for gender- and youth-responsive research in agronomy addresses the critical need for gender and social inclusion skills among agricultural researchers. Despite numerous capacity-strengthening interventions since the Beijing Platform for Action in 1995, their effectiveness remains under-evaluated. This framework, developed…

Soil nitrous oxide and methane fluxes from a land-use change transition of primary forest to oil palm in an Indonesian peatland
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/135478
Abstract
Despite the documented increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Southeast Asian peat swamp forest degradation and conversion to oil palm over recent decades, reliable estimates of emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are lacking. We measured soil fluxes of N2O and CH4 and their environmental controls along a peatland transition from primary…

Smallholder farmers’ preferences for sustainable intensification attributes in maize production: Evidence from Ghana
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/118105
Abstract
While sustainable intensification has been aggressively promoted as an agricultural development strategy among smallholder farmers since the beginning of the last decade, there is a dearth of evidence on whether farmers are interested in practicing it and how much value they put to its different components. This study aims at analyzing farmers' preferences for maize…

Assessing microbial diversity in soil and roots of common crops in Sapa district, Lao Cai province, Vietnam
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/168496
Abstract
Agricultural productivity is intricately linked to the health and biodiversity of soil, making the study of these components paramount in understanding and enhancing crop production. As the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems, soil health and biodiversity play pivotal roles in nutrient cycling, disease suppression, and overall ecosystem resilience (Berendsen et al., 2012). Microbial…
