Soil analysis before and after mungbean crop production - Tajikistan 2018
No full textThe data was collected for the project: "Collaborative Research Project on Sustainable Soil Management to Enhance Agricultural Productivity in Central Asia" as part of its Activity 2.2: "On_farm evaluation and demonstration of integrated soil, land, crop and water management technologies to combat land degradation and improve livelihoods (Soil analysis before and after mungbean crop production)". The data from soil analysis before and after mungbean cultivation from 5 randomly chosen fields in Khujand and Spitamen districts of Soghd province in Tajikistan. The samples were collected before and after the mungbean crop, cultivated during summer of 2018
Comparison between maize, millet and guar improved and local varieties for green fodder and dry matter yield - Pakistan 2015
No full textThe dataset contanins a data comparison between improved maize, millet and guar variety vs. local varieties for green fodder yield (GFY) and dry matter yield (DMY). The data are from 2 farmers fields at Latifal and Saghar village at Chakwal site (Pakistan)

Effect of rangeland restoration and management in relation to land tenure on soil surface, vegetation cover and species frequency
No full textThis data investigated the effect of period of rest and land tenure on the soil surface, vegetation cover and species frequency in rangeland function in Tataouine in Southern part of Tunisia
Tree Planting Data 2018 - Kenya
No full textIn order to assess the impact of the Land Restoration Program, understanding what land restoration options work, where and for whom, there is need to identify the context-specific variables that may influence the performance of the restoration options as well as their uptake. In addition to monitoring the performance of the restoration option being implemented, a registration of the farmers involved in the project was conducted. A standard household survey was used, assessing both the socio-economic and biophysical characteristics of the households. The farmers were from seven sub-counties across three Kenyan counties. Specifically, the farmers were from Mwala, Yatta and Masinga sub-counties in Machakos County; Mwingi Central and Kitui Rural in Kitui County; and Mbooni East and Kibwezi East in Makueni County. The present dataset includes data about tree planting in experimental plots developed inside the project, from 1202 households. The tree planting data were collected mainly in July 2018, bewteen six months and 1 year after the establishement of the plots.
NOTE: The coordinates were removed from the dataset in May 2021, in order to comply with GDPR standards. The location details are available on request: please contact the author and explain the purpose of your research

Climate Productivity Index (Crop Group I, Rainfed)
No full textData for characterization of Central Asia climatic conditions. Climate Productivity Index (Crop Group I, Rainfed) was calculated by using interpolated raster from climatic stations using CLIMAP tool developed at ICARDA
Impact of rest duration and land tenure on biomass (productivity) of degraded rangelands in Tunisia
No full textTo investigated changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of community structure and rangeland function in response to the period of rest. A total of 20 sites in southern Tunisia (Tataouine) covering more than 15000 ha including 12 private rangelands and 4 communal subjected to grazing management, in addition to 4 freely grazed site which considered as control were retained for detailed monitoring-assessment study. This data could be one of the tools to examine the impact and potential of traditional best practices for rangeland restoration on regeneration and the persistence of plant species by monitoring the evolution of specific characters (global plant cover, specific frequencies, flora richness and the plant density, biomass, rangeland production and carrying capacity). The state of the soil surface (wind veil, crust, stones, litter) is also studied to monitor and assess changes of soil structure.
Range biomass production were estimated by clipping the vegetation inside 5 quadrats of 1m2 each for annual species and by clipping the half of the potentially grazeable biomass (according to the rule take the half and leave the half) of 10 tufts of each species for perennial vegetation. The total biomass of perennial species was estimated by multiplying the mean available biomass per individual by the density of the species
