title: Replication data for: Landscape approach to estimate soil carbon: the potential and usefulness of Mid Infrared (MIR) spectroscopy

description: The study was conducted in six sites (Akonolinga, Ayos, LekiÃ©1, Lekie2, Ebolowa and Efoulan) located in the humid forest zone in southern Cameroon. In each site, four villages were selected based on settlement, agroforestry practices around the homestead, land-use system diversity and density of trees in the systems.  The study area is located between 2o48â and 4o7âE, and between 10o55â and 12o30âE, and the average elevation is about 685 meters above the sea level.  Field survey and soil sampling were carried out using the quadrat approach. Nested sampling plots of variable sizes adjusted to the land use systems to be sampl
ed were used along with methods of soil sampling. Before the proper soil sampling, subplot samples were set up in each selected plot with three considerations: for land use with high tree population density, two rectangular plots (5 m Ã 40 m = 200 m2) were selected by running a 40 m line through the area within a plot of at least 1 ha, avoiding the boundary of the plot. The geo-position of each plot was recorded using a GPS. Rectangular plots were chosen because of its ability to include more of the within plot heterogeneity, and thus more representative. Plot location was therefore randomized making sure that the plots do not only fall in areas with the densest or least vegetation. For the land use system with low tree population density, we set out 500 m2 quadrats (20 m Ã 25 m) instead of 200 m2. Two 0.5 Ã 0.5 m small plots within the 40 Ã 5 m transect were chosen on each site from which soil samples were taken at two depths: 0 â 10 cm and 10 â 30cm layers of the soil using a cylinder of 100 m3 for chemical analysis.

title: Trees for Food Security Project-Local Knowledge-Local Knowledge of Farmers on Farm Tree Management, East Shewa Zone, Ethiopia

description: Food insecurity, natural resource degradation and climate change threaten 12-14 million livelihoods in Ethiopia annually. Trees are being hyped as a ‘silver bullet’ solution to meet these triple challenges. However, studies suggest a decreasing trend not only in adoption but farmers practice of maintaining trees on their farms. The study explores the local knowledge of 94 farmers in two villages of the East Shewa Zone, Ethiopia on land use and land cover dynamics on the farming landscape, tree adoption and management of trees on agricultural fields and their implications for sustained food security. Findings suggest farmers have extensive knowledge on tree on fields, their utilities, management, and effect of management on natural regeneration and the overall role of trees in ensuring livelihoods. Farmers identified government policies and population growth as main drivers of land use and tree cover change in both sites. Farmers retained and or planted trees on their fields for meeting tree product needs with tree materials for dead fencing as major a priority.

title: Replication data for: Productivity of Acacia angustissima accessions at two sites in the subtropics

description: Low leaf biomass yields coupled with small land sizes are some of the major constraints faced by smallholder farmers that grow protein-rich fodder trees and shrubs. Given these challenges, availability of highly productive seed sources would be important to enable farmers to produce leaf fodder in sufficient quantities. 14 accessions of Acacia angustissima were evaluated for leaf, wood and total biomass production at two subtropical sites with uni-modal rainfall in Zimbabwe, with the objective of identifying high leaf biomass yielding accessions. There were up to fourfold difference in biomass yield between the accessions. Leaf dry matter yield ranged from 1.65 to 8.81 Mg ha-1 and 3.7 to 12.4 Mg ha-1for
wood biomass at the higher altitude site (1530 m a.s.l.) but were much lower at 1272 m a.s.l. where  they ranged between 0.37 and 4.88 Mg ha-1 for leaf and 0.4 and 7.2 Mg ha-1 for wood. The most productive accessions for leaf biomass were 16231 and 18579 at the higher altitude site, while 18586 and 18501 had the highest yields at the lower altitude. Although no one accession was consistently high yielding across the two sites, the least productive accessions were consistently poor at both sites.  The advantage of using selected superior accessions over the unselect bulk seed was up to 85%. These findings underscore the need to promote the use of only high yielding accessions rather than unselect bulk seed. This study identified new, more productive accessions of A. angustissima that potentially widens the genetic base of the germplasm assembled in Zimbabwe.

title: Replication data for: Preparing the ground for better landscape governance: gendered realities in southern Sulawesi

description: In recognition of the importance of effective and equitable governance at the landscape scale in enhancing human and environmental well-being, we use a recently developed framework for assessing men’s and women’s involvement in local governance. These results set the stage for an ongoing examination of the success of the AgFor project in southern Sulawesi in achieving this goal. Our findings establish a baseline on gender and governance in five communities with landscapes that include forestry, agroforestry, and agriculture: Bonto Tappalang and Tana Toa in South Sulawesi, and Tawanga, Ladongi, and Wonua Hua in Southeast Sulawesi. These indicators, which we complement with ethnographic insights, fall into two categories: (1) level of public involvement and (2) skills relevant for political action, each of which is assessed for both women and men. Our findings reflect what we believe to be a comparatively equitable gender situation in Sulawesi, with hopeful prospects for enhancing women’s (and men’s) public involvement in governance. We conclude with some practical and ethnographically informed suggestions for enhancing collaboration with women and men in these (and similar) communities.

title: Tsafack S, Degrande A, Franzel S, Simpson B. 2014. Farmer-to-farmer extension in Cameroon: a survey of extension organizations. ICRAF Working Paper No. 182. Nairobi, World Agroforestry Centre.

description: Despite the central role that farmers play as agricultural producers in developing countries, they are often inadequately served by research, extension and advisory services. Extension approaches such as the farmer-to-farmer extension (F2F) approach were developed to improve service to farmers, but little is known about how this approach is being used in Cameroon. This paper examines the experiences of organizations using the F2F extension approach. Specifically, the study characterizes and assesses F2F extension approaches in Cameroon to determine which practices are most effective in different circumstances. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 24 selected organizations in seven regions of the country. The F2F extension approach in Cameroon is used by farmer organizations as well as
national and international non-profit organizations. Neither governmental services nor private sector companies use this approach. Those organizations using F2F extension had on average five field staff (FS), and mainly targeted farmer groups.
Fifty-eight percent of organizations interviewed had one woman or no women among their field staff. Though respondents stated that their organizations were using many different extension approaches, in addition to the F2F approach, 41 percent identified F2F as the most effective method. The main sources of technical information for FS were personal reading, information exchanged during seminars and workshops, staff members’ own experiences and research institutes.
Field staff were in charge of capacity development and follow-up of lead farmers (LFs). On the basis of mutually agreed upon criteria, LFs were usually selected jointly by FS and the community. According to the organizations interviewed, individual FS were working with 17 LFs on average, and the latter were training approximately four groups, each with about 43 members, in addition to 48 individual farmers outside of these groups. These LFs were considered an extension of FS in their communities and usually offered their services on a voluntary basis.
Some organizations supported LFs by providing per diem during training workshops and meetings, and helping them set up income-generating opportunities such as selling livestock or seedlings. Among the main motivations for one to become a lead farmer mentioned by respondents were altruism and early access to technologies, followed by job benefits and social status. To remain in the position, LFs were motivated by opportunities for income generation and altruism, as well as social networking. Most of the organizations gave F2F a score of 8 (on a scale of 1-10) for effectiveness, so it is clear that the F2F approach is considered highly effective in Cameroon.

title: Western Kenya Integrated Ecosystem Management Project (WKIEMP) Ex Post Household Survey

description: This study assessed the economic impact of the WKIEMP project on households in the Nyando and Yala river basins of Western Kenya.  The survey included 362 households which together formed three groups – those formally involved in WKIEMP, those informally involved in WKIEMP and those not involved in WKIEMP.  The data captured included variables on household characteristics and details of adoption behaviour of the interventions offered by the project.  Further analyses in the paper modelled the adoption into impacts using a 20 year time horizon.  From that model, benefit cost ratios, internal rates of return and net present values were calculated.  These showed that there was a positive impact of the project before adding in additional carbon benefits.  The analysis then contributed to an overall assessment of the project by the World Bank.

title: Replication data for: White Jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) and Red Jabon (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) for community land rehabilitation: improving local propagation efforts.

description: Native to South and Southeast Asia, white jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) and red jabon (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) are ideal choices for plantation and community forestry. Fast-growing and resistance to pests, the wood of these species have multiple uses. The species are preferred by local communities due to their adaptability and economic profitability. However, a lack of propagation technology appropriate for rural communities limits the domestication of jabon species. The research aimed to identify the best practices for seed germination and seedlings growth under rural conditions. The study used a completely randomized design, testing five treatments for germination media and nine treatments for growing media. Each treatment was replicated three times. All media tested were well-drained, of light texture, fertile, and can be easily produced by farmers by mixing appropriate portions of soils, sand and organic matter. The best soil media for germinating jabon seed is pure soil medium (100%) with the number of germinants equally 634 per 0.5 gram of seed, followed by the mixed soil-sand medium (1:1), which produced
514 germinants per 0.5 grams of seed. The best soil medium for height growth, diameter growth, and total dry weight of jabon seedlings was the mixed soil, cow-manure compost, and husk charcoal medium (3:1:1). These media can be produced under rural conditions with material easily available and improve local propagation of jabon species. Results are widely applicable.

title: Replication data for: Aboveground carbon stocks in oil palm plantations and the threshold for carbon-neutral vegetation conversion on mineral soils

description: The carbon (C) footprint of palm-oil production is needed to judge emissions from potential biofuel use. Relevance includes wider sustainable palm oil debates. Within life cycle analysis, aboveground C debt is incurred if the vegetation replaced had a higher C stock than oil palm plantations. Our study included 25 plantations across Indonesia, in a stratified study design representing the range of conditions in which oil palm is grown. From allometric equations for palm biomass and observed growth rates, we estimated the time-averaged aboveground C stock for 25-year rotations and 95%-confidence intervals to be 42.07 (42.04-42.10) Mg C ha-1 for plantations managed by company on mineral soil, 40.03 (39.75-40.30) Mg C ha-1 for plantations managed by company on peat, and 37.76 (37.42-38.09) Mg C ha-1 for smallholder oil palm on mineral soils. Oil palm can be established C debt-free on mineral soils with aboveground C stocks below these values; neutrality of mineral soil C pools was documented in a parallel study. Acknowledging variation in shoot:root ratios, the types of vegetation that can be converted debt-free to oil palm include grasslands and shrub, but not monocultural rubber plantations, rubber agroforest, and similar secondary or logged-over forests of higher C stock.

title: Review of seeds and seedlings systems in Ethiopia: East shewa, West Shewa and East Wollega zones

description: Key informants’ survey on seeds and seedlings systems in were conducted in Ethiopia i) map out the tree seed and seedling supply system in order to establish the role of the government and NGOs in the systems, ii) assess the quality of the germplasm as mapped out in the seed sourcing, collection/ procurement and distribution and ultimately seedling production; and iii) identify the organizations and individuals dealing with tree seeds and seedlings, their roles, supply channels, the support given to tree seed dealers and nursery operators available, challenges encountered in the system and opportunities that exist. The findings were expected to give early indications of research and development interventions geared towards overcoming bottlenecks in the systems especially on networking, information sharing and system sustainability.

title: Climate change perceptions and adaptations of rural households in Western Kenya

description: The ICRAF contribution was to collect and analyse data from Kenya as part of a four country study on climate change perceptions and responses by rural communities and farmers.  The formal survey was done in Bondo and Bungoma districts.  The study found that farmers were undertake a range of different ex ante and ex post measures in response to various drivers and incentives.  SLM type of investments were made to varying degrees but often not in direct response to climate change or variability.  Nonetheless, it was generally found that yield variability is reduced when SLM investments were made.
