title: Replication Data for: Climate modelling for agroforestry species selection in Yunnan Province, China

description: Indigenous agroforestry systems have been practiced for centuries in the Himalaya Mountains and adjoining regions. With the increase of climate change associated risks, enhanced understanding of the impact of climate change and related phenomena on the potential distribution of agroforestry is increasingly useful and necessary, for both
maintaining and improving yield and ecosystem function. In particular, increased understanding of these issues is crucial to identify both “how” and “where” efficient and
systematic response mechanisms can be developed in advance to provide an array of adaptation options. Choosing the appropriate tree crop for current and future suitable
location is a first important step and primary aspect in developing agroforestry systems that would meet regional needs for adaptation, mitigation, and ecological restoration.

title: Replication data for: Assessing the Quality of Seedlings in Small-scale Nurseries in the Highlands of Cameroon: The Use of Growth Characteristics and Quality Thresholds as Indicators

description: In developing countries seedlings are often produced in small-scale nurseries as a means to raise tree planting materials and, provided they are of high quality, these can form the basis for successful forest plantation initiatives. This study uses morphological characteristics to assess the quality of seedlings of three tree species (Persea americana, Cola acuminata and Dacryodes edulis) in the Western Highlands of Cameroon. The growth characteristics and quality indicators of seedlings produced in two nursery categories were comparedâthree nurs
eries collaborating with the tree domestication program implemented by the World Agroforestry Centre (Category 1) and three nurseries collaborating with government and non-governmental projects (Category 2). Seedlings produced in nurseries in the first nursery category were found to be uniform in terms of growth characteristics and quality indicators. In the second category, there were relatively higher seedling proportions having measured parameters out of threshold standards for root to shoot ratio and for sturdiness quotient. Significant differences between nursery categories (at a = 0.05) were detected in root collar diameter of C. acuminata and D. edulis and in shoot dry weight of D. edulis. These differences could be attributed to better nursery management as a results of training and technical backstopping received by nursery operators in Category 1. The level of experience of nursery operators in both categories was found to be insufficient and greater exposure to skills and knowledge could enhance the production of high quality seedlings.

title: Replication data for: Correspondence in forest species composition between the Vegetation Map of Africa and higher resolution maps for seven African countries

description: Question: How well does the forest classification systemof the 1:5,000,000 vegetation map of Africa developed by Frank White correspond with classification systems and more extensive information on species assemblages of higher resolution maps developed for Ethiopia, Kenya,Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia? Methods: We reviewed various national and sub-national vegetation maps for their potential in increasing the resolution of the African map. Associated documentation was consulted to compile species assemblages, and to identify indicator species, for national forest vegetation types. Indicator species were identified for each regional forest type by selecting those species that, among all the species listed for the same phytochorion (regional centre of endemism),were listed only for that forest type. For each of the national forest types, we counted the number of indicator species of the anticipated regional type. Floristic relationships (expressed by four different ecological distancemeasures) among national forest types were investigated based on distance-based redundancy analysis, permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) using distance matrices and hierarchical clustering. Results: For most of the national forests, the analysis of indicator spec
ies and floristic relationships confirmed the regional classification system for the majority of national forest types, including the allocation to different phytochoria. Permutation tests confirmed allocation of national forest types to regional typologies, although the number of possible permutations limited inferences for the Zambezian and Lake Victoria phytochoria. Two forest types from Ethiopia and Kenya did not correspond to regional forest types.

title: Replication data for: Does collective action improve the performance of actors in the njansang (Ricinodendron heudelotii) value chain? Insights from Cameroonâs experience

description: Over the past decade the potential of under-utilized food products to contribute to rural livelihoods has been recognised by development practitioners, researchers, donors and civil societies. In view of this, value chain development (VCD) of these products and its importance for rural development is increasingly becoming an important topic for discussion. In Cameroon, development and research organizations have promoted the commercialization of Ricinodendron heudelotii (Baill.) Pierre ex Pax., locally known as Njansang which is under-utilized species found in West and Central Africa. The aim of these initiatives is to alleviate poverty through activities like traini
ng on production, processing and collective marketing. After 10 years, it is imperative to know how collective action interventions have influenced the development of the value chain. This study therefore assesses the effects of collective action on producersâ livelihoods and the business performance of traders involved in the njansang value chain. The â5 capitalsâ framework, which is a tool for assessing the poverty impacts of value chain interventions, was employed.  Sixteen focus group discussions were held with producers and traders involved in the njansang value chain in the West, Centre and East regions of Cameroon. A survey using structured questionnaires was also administered with 169 producers and 15 traders on their perception of the impacts of collective action interventions. The results indicate that farmers have benefitted from collective action through improved processing techniques, increased income resulting from economies of scale, as well as social benefits. Traders have gained through bulk buying from producers, reducing their transaction costs and improved consistency in supply. It is concluded that, among others, collective action can be an important entry point for the promotion of under-utilized species. However, it needs to be complemented with other interventions such as financial support which can help farmers to reduce side selling outside the group.

title: Farmer to farmer interpersonal communication in agroforestry innovation dissemination in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

description: During the past 35 years, research in agroforestry has evolved significantly. However in many countries the dissemination of agroforestry information and innovation is constrained due to a lack of extension agents knowledgeable of agroforestry issues. In countries like Indonesia, where smallholder livelihoods are dependent on agroforestry production systems, the dissemination of relevant agroforestry innovations is essential to reducing poverty and ensuring food security. Farmer-to-farmer communication is a possible alternative method of disseminating agroforestry innovations when there is a lack of extension agent in the agroforestry sector. To evaluate the potential of the farmer-to-farmer communication, a study was conducted in November 2012 and April 2013 to identify and understand village-level communication systems.

title: Replication data for: Optimum pruning intensity for reducing crop suppression in a Gmelina–maize smallholder agroforestry system in Claveria, Philippines

description: On-farm trials were conducted to assess the effects of four branch pruning levels on maize grain yield, tree growth and stem shape. The experimental plots consisted of Gmelina (Gmelina arborea R.Br.) trees planted at 1 × 10 m with maize intercropped in the 10 m-wide alleys between lines of trees. Pruning levels consisted of retaining a live crown ratio of 60–70% (T 1), 40–50% (T 2); 30–40% (T 3) and of 20–30% (T 4). At the end of the experiment, the total maize grain yield was highest under the high pruning intensity (T 4) (18.06 t ha−1) and lowest under T 1 (14.48 t ha−1). Maize grain yield under the pruning regime T 2 and T 3 were 16.08 and 17.21 t ha−1, respectively
. Mean annual increment (MAI) in tree diameter was greater (5.0 cm year−1) under T 1 than those at T 4 (4.1 cm year−1). Pruning regimes T 2 and T 3 resulted in a MAI of 4.7 and 4.5 cm year−1, respectively. Financial analysis showed that maize-tree systems under T 4 were more profitable than under T 1 as long as the reduction of the average dbh at harvest were not greater than 1 cm. Pruning trees intensively also generated greater returns from labour than moderate pruning, as the greater maize grain yields under T 4 compensated for the cost of pruning and the lower timber yield. In the context of resource-poor farmers, intensive branch pruning was a practice that prolonged the period of profitable intercropping and was compatible with commercial timber production.

title: Replication data for: Land Health Surveillance: Mapping Soil Carbon in Kenyan Rangelands

description: Land health surveillance is a methodological framework for measuring and monitoring land health—the capacity of land to sustain delivery of ecosystem services—for the purpose of targeting agroforestry and other sustainable land management in landscapes, and assessing their impacts. It is modelled on scientific principles used in surveillance in the public health sector, which has a long history of evidence-informed policy and practice. Key elements of the science methodological framework are (1) probability-based sampling of well-defined populations of sample units; (2) standar
dized protocols for data collection to enable statistical analysis of patterns, trends, and associations; and (3) multilevel statistical modelling of land health attributes at different scales, including in relation to satellite imagery for spatial interpolation. The framework was applied in assessing soil carbon in Kenyan rangelands in Laikipia. Systematic probability-based field sampling provided a robust baseline on condition in the study area. Infrared spectroscopy was used in the laboratory as a rapid low-cost tool for estimating soil carbon concentration. The georeferenced soil carbon values were modelled to reflectance values of fine resolution (2 m) satellite imagery and spatially interpolated over the 100-km2 sampling block. The combination of methods makes soil carbon baselines feasible at a landscape level in land management projects and provides much additional information on soil and vegetation health for targeting interventions. The land health surveillance approach could form the basis for evidence-based decision making on land management at project, national, and even continental levels.

title: Upper-Trusha farmer livelihood study, Naivasha, Kenya

description: In the Lake Naivasha basin, Kenya, there is an example of long running Payment for Environmental Services (PES) project, which received some private sector funding sporadically during the past ten years. The project had both environmental and socio-economical aims: to lessen soil erosion and sediment/fertilizer loads to Lake Naivasha, meanwhile educating the land user, i.e. farmers, to gain higher yields by more sustainable farming methods. The more sustainable farming methods were thought to have the potential to produce livelihood improvement to the poorest farmers. According to farmer testimonies, the land erosion has reduced and the farmer livelihoods through better income had also improved significantly. Both of these positive outcomes are primarily from training that is included as an essential part of the PES project. Although the socio-economic outcomes are very positive, there seems to be a lack of evidence for the environmental outcomes of the PES project. In addition, even though there is some little inputs to the PES project from flower farms downstream, i.e. the private sector, currently the most important contributions to this project come from an international NGO, the WWF.

title: Creating a viable business case for Croton production in Kenya for biofuels and related byproducts

description: Creating a viable business case for Croton production in Kenya for biofuels and related byproducts requires an in-depth analysis of its supply chain and specifically its impact on rural livelihoods. A preliminary survey was carried out of Croton collectors and agents along with some cursory financial analysis in 2015. 
Results from the survey suggested numerous gaps in understanding the impacts on rural livelihoods and determining specific business case options for Croton products and markets. 
Building up on the preliminary study, a baseline survey of 200 households in four counties was carried out to assess Croton production and its potential for impact on livelihoods in key areas where it is found.

title: Gender-specific assessment of natural resources using the pebble game.

description: Using a gender perspective to assess the preferences and values people associate with natural resources is essential, especially if the research aims to deepen understanding about men and women in relation to their natural environment. A game using pebbles has proven effective in classifying the value of natural resources, and the reasons behind the valuation. The pebble game is among many tools used in participatory rural appraisals (PRA). Sheil et al. (2002), for example, used the method to examine biological diversity in the context of landscape assessment. The pebble game was adapted in several gender researches in rural and migrant communities in Jambi, South and Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. These were supported by AgFor (Sulawesi Project funded by the Canadian International Development Agency) and REALU (Reducing Emission from Alternative Land Uses) projects. The studies assessed the importance of livelihood sources, the levels and nature of involvement of men and women in farming activities, the reasons for men and women preferences over natural resources, and the values they attach to them.
