title: Characteristics of Environmental Data Layers for Use in Species Distribution Modelling in the Eastern Canadian Arctic and Sub-Arctic Regions

description: Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a tool that utilizes the relationship between a species and its environment in known (sampled) locations to predict the species’ distribution in unsampled areas. Environmental data are typically collected at different spatial and temporal scales and often require spatial interpolation between data points to provide a continuous surface required by the modelling application. Here we provide detailed information on 111 environmental data layers collected over different spatial scales and temporal resolutions and interpolated using a geospatial method to provide continuous data surfaces for the Eastern Canadian Arctic and Sub-Arctic. Variables were obtained from a broad range of physical and biological data sources and spatially interpolated using ordinary kriging. For each environmental variable we show the distributional properties of the raw data prior to spatial interpolation, model performance indicators and assessment of model performance, and finally, maps of the prediction standard error and interpolation prediction surfaces. These layers have been archived in a common (raster) format at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography to facilitate future use. A subset of these variables has already been used in a conservation management application to identify deep-water coral and sponge Significant Benthic Areas in the Eastern Canadian Arctic.

title: Oligocene and Miocene larger foraminiferida from Australia and New Zealand

description: The lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy, and the systematics, of larger foraminiferids at several Late Oligocene to Middle Miocene localities in Australia are described. In particular, sediments of this interval in the North West Cape area of the Carnarvon Basin, Western Australia, have yielded diverse faunas of larger and planktic foraminiferids. Sections studied and sampled elsewhere were Ashmore Reef No. 1 well in the Bonaparte Gulf Basin; Gage Roads No. 2 well in the Perth Basin; the Batesford and Bochara Limestones in Victoria; Wreck Island No. 1 well in Queensland; and the Tutamoe, Puketi, and Waitiiti Formations, the Waikuku Limestone, the Stillwater Mudstone, and the Orakei Greensand Member of the East Coast Bays Formation, all in New Zealand. Forty species and subspecies, representing 25 genera or subgenera of larger foraminiferids, have been recorded. Wherever possible, biometric methods have been used to discriminate between taxa. Such studies suggest that the rates of evolution of some groups of larger foraminiferids in New Zealand were different from those in the Australian region. Among the taxa that are illustrated and described in detail are two subspecies of Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) proposed as new: Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) howchini praehowchini and Lepidocyclina (Nephrolepidina) orakeiensis waikukuensis. Topotypes of L. (N.) orakeiensis hornibrooki and L. (N.) howchini howchini have been discussed and figured.

title: Replication Data for: Influence de la provenance des geniteurs et du type pollen sur la fructification sous pollinisation controlee chez Dacryodes edulis (Burseraceae)

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/SQJLX6Very little work has been done on the breeding of native species. Domestication requires germplasm improvement that may lead to the achievement of improved planting material for the creation of new ciltivars. Controlled cross-pollination tests were conducted on Dacryodes edulis (Burseraceae) in order to assess the influence of the provenance and the pollen type on the fruit production of 14 females accessions belonging to 09 families from 03 provenances. the crosses were performed according to a 'nested design block' in which the two types of pollen from a given provenance were used to fertilize a group of 05 female trees from the same provenance. For each cross, the number of pollinated flowers, number of fruits set and the number of mature fruits were evaluated; the fruit setting rate (TN), the fruiting index (FI) and the fruit dropping rate (TC) were calculated and subjected to analysis of variance. Based on averages, different combinations were classified according to their performance using the 'cluster analysis'. The result showed that the fruiting index that determines the studied species 'yield varies only and significantly (p=0.01.) under the combined action of the three factors studied : the provenance, the female parent in the provenance and the type of pollen used in the crosses.

title: Tree Crops Development in Africa and Asia to Benefit the Poor - Fruit Component

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/TIFOQTThe goal of the project is to reduce rural poverty in Kenya and Mali by promoting wealth and health of poor farming communities through enhanced cultivation, processing, marketing and use of a diversity of fruit trees. The proposed project also aims at contributing to the transition of small-scale farming systems from subsistence farming to intensified semi-commercial farming of fruit trees and of small-scale private or community tree nurseries and micro-processors to more business-oriented a nd profitable enterprises. Specifically, the project has the following objectives: Analyse the status quo of the whole fruit sector (including current seedling supply systems, production, processing, domestic/export markets and consumption) and its potentials/challenges to develop impact-oriented interventions and site-specific fruit tree portfolios. Provide farmers with access to high quality fruit tree planting material by establishing sustainable, decentralized seedling supply systems (the Rural Resource Centre model). Increase and disseminate knowledge on improved fruit tree propagation and on-farm tree management techniques. Build capacity of fruit producers and micro-processors on fruit post-harvest technologies, value adding, marketing and business skills. Increase awareness on the health benefits of regular fruit consumption of rural and urban households, particularly of children.

title: Evaluation de l’aptitude au marcottage aérien de Dacryodes edulis (g.don) lam. (Burseraceae) a maturation tardive dans le Mbam et Inoubou - Cameroun

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/TBPGMLDacryodes edulis à maturation tardive est une espèce forestière ayant des valeurs aussi bien sur le plan économique que social, mais l’on déplore sa faible densité et le vieillissement des individus déjà existants. Jusqu'à ce jour, de nombreuses avancées ont été faites sur les techniques de multiplication végétatives mais les safoutiers "contre saison" n’ont pas fait l’objet de beaucoup d’étude s. La quinzaine de mai 2010, à Makénéné, une série d’essai fut conduite dans les champs des paysans afin d’évaluer l’aptitude au marcottage aérien de cet individu sur trois facteurs dont le diamètre de la branche (les classes [2- 3[cm et [4 -5 [cm), l’orientation de la branche (orthotrope, oblique et plagiotrope) et le substrat d’enracinement (la fleur mâle de palmier à huile, le mélange terre noire/sable à proportion égale et la sciure de bois décomposé). 240 marcottes ont été posées sur 30 arbres, dont 10 arbres pour chaque facteur ; soit 60 marcottes au total pour l’essai diamètre et 90 pour chacun des essais orientation et substrat. Il ressort de ces travaux que l’enracinement des marcottes de Dacryodes edulis à maturation tardive est précoce (12,91 % à trois mois) pour des arbres âgés (plus de 15 ans) et la répartition des racines primaires autour de la marcotte est indépendante des traitements appliqués. De plus, à 5 mois, le pourcentage d’enracinement des marcottes n’a pas un effet significatif (p= 0,613) pour les branches de classes [2- 3[cm (56,67 ± 4,617%) et [4 -5 [cm (60,00 ± 4,634%) ; cependant, les branches de diamètre 2 à 3 cm favorisent le développement d’un nombre élevé de racines primaires et entrainent une grande mortalité des marcottes. L’orientation de la branche influence significativement l’enracinement des marcottes (p=0,039) ; la mieux adaptée est celle des branches plagiotropes, bien qu’elle présente une mortalité élevée (26,67 ± 4,74%) et un bas nombre de racines primaires (7,95 ± 0,93%). Les marcottes à la sciure ont le grand pourcentage d’enracinement (36,67 ± 4,32%) ; toute fois les marcottes au mélange terre noire/sable présentent le plus grand nombre de racines (15,47 ± 1,45%). L’on peut donc conclure que l’âge des arbres peut accélérer le processus d’enracinement des marcottes de D. edulis à maturation tardive. Pour le marcottage aérien des safoutiers les branches de gros diamètre, les branches plagiotropes et la sciure de bois décomposé sont certains éléments favorisant un enracinement optimal des marcottes.

title: Replication data for: Diagnosis of soil nutrient constraints in small-scale groundnut (Arachis hyopaea L.) production systems of Western Kenya using infrared spectroscopy

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/XXDO0QWise decision-making on resource allocation and intervention targeting for soil management cannot rely solely on trial and error methods and field observations used by small-scale farmers: cost-effective soil fertility survey methods are needed. This study aimed to test the applicability of infrared spectroscopy (IR) as a diagnostic screening tool for making soil fertility recommendations in small-s cale production systems. Soil fertility survey of 150 small-scale groundnut farms in western Kenya was conducted using a spatially stratified random sampling strategy. Soil properties examined were pH in water (pH w), total carbon (C), total nitrogen (N), extractable phosphorus (P), exchangeable potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and texture. These properties were calibrated to mid-infrared (MIR) diffuse reflectance using partial least square regression (PLSR). Cross-validated coefficient of determination (r2) values obtained from calibration models were &gt; 0.80 for all properties, except P and K with 0 .66 and 0.50 respectively. Soil nutritional deficiencies were evaluated using critical nutrient limits based on IR predictions and composite soil fertility indices (SFIs) developed from the soil properties using principal component analysis. The SFIs were calibrated to MIR soil spectral reflectance with cross-validated r2 values &gt; 0.80. The survey showed that 56% of the groundnut farms had severe soil nutrient constraints for production, especially exchangeable Ca, available P and organic matter. IR can provide a robust tool for farm soil fertility assessment and recommendation systems when backed up by conventional reference analyses. However, further work is required to test direct calibration of crop responses to spectral i ndicators and to improve prediction of extractable P and K tests.

title: Replication data for: Management, use and ecology of medicinal plants in the degraded dry lands of Tigray, Northern Ethiopia.

description: An ethnomedicinal study was conducted to document the indigenous medicinal plant knowledge on the management, use, and ecology of locally important medicinal plants in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. Ethnobotanical data were collected from 250 people, using semi-structured questionnaires, field observation and informal disc ussion. The ethnomedicinal use of 259 plant species mainly herbs (31 to 51%), shrubs (31 to 46%) and trees (13 to 39%) used to treat 147 human and livestock ailments were documented in the study area. The most frequently used plant part were roots (49%), followed by leaves (37%) and bark (14%)... Crushing (59%), homogenizing with ingredients (17%) and chewing (14%) were the commonly used forms of herbal preparation. Drinking (45%), smoke inhalation (12%) and tie and hold on (10%) were the most frequently used methods of application. Most of the medicinal plants are collected from the wild. The use of more than one species was reported for remedy preparations and some health problems were treated by more than one medicinal plant. Our result showed that the local communities give less attention for the management of medicinal plants as local communities consider medicinal plants as wild, have unattractive market value and lack of knowledge. The mismanagement together with loss of habitat showed that ethnomedicinal plant species used by healers are under serious threat which indicates the need for urgent attention towards their documentation, conservation and sustainable utilization.

title: Replication data for: Effects of region, soil, land use and terrain type on fuelwood properties of five tree/shrub species in the Sahelian and Sudanian ecozones of Mali

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/B8R9VIContext There is little information about inter- and intra-specific variation in fuelwood properties of trees/shrubs in West Africa. • Aims We studied variation in fuelwood properties of Balanites aegyptiaca, Combretum glutinosum, Guiera senegalensis, Piliostigma reticulatum, and Zizyphus mauritiana in the Sahelian and Sudanian ecozones of Mali. • Methods Trees were sampled on different soil (sandy, sandy/loam, or rocky), land use (parkland agroforest or woodland), and terrain (flat, temporarily flooded, or hill slope) types in five regions extending from the drier eastern to the more humid western parts of Mali. Basic density, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash content, moisture content, gross calorific value, and fuel value index were measured for each tree and adjusted for tree age. • Results All fuelwood properties differed significantly among species, but there were significant species by region interactions. Most fuelwood properties of four species differed significantly among regions. Soil and/or land use type had significant effects on a few fuelwood properties of four species. • Conclusion In general, fuelwood production is recommended in all regions for G. senegalensis, in drier regions for B. aegyptiaca and C. glutinosum, in more humid regions for Z. mauritiana, and on rocky soils for all species. Fuelwood production of P. reticulatum is not recommended.

title: Replication data for: Factors affecting the dynamics of tree diversity in agroforestry parklands of cereal and cotton farming systems in burkina faso.

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/LMHSPVDespite their socio-economic and ecological role, many studies have shown that the parklands are degrading very rapidly. Therefore, there is a need to undertake restoration actions for both production and environmental services. To do so, there is a need to identify factors that are affecting the dynamics of parkland systems. The present study aimed at characterizing and quantifying tree diversity of parkland systems taking into consideration the householdÂs wealth status, land uses, market access and the type of farming system (cereal based on the ÂPlateau CentralÂ and cotton based in ÂBoucle du MouhouÂ). Six villages (KienfanguÂ©, IpelcÂ©, and Kuizili with easy access to the market and, Karang-Tanghin, Nionsna and Targho with poor access to the market) in the Plateau CentralÂ and six villages (Bondoukuy, Ouahabou and Yaho with easy access to the market and, Dora, FakÂ©na and Mamou with poor access to the market) in ÂBoucle du MouhounÂ were studied. In each village, the Participatory Analysis of Poverty and Livelihood Dynamics method was used by rural farmers to rank farmer households of their communities and that gave three groups of wealth status that are poor, fairly well-off and well-off. Five households representing each of the three wealth groups in each village, giving a total of 15 households per village, were randomly selected by wealth group. Tree/shrub inventories were conducted in all land use types (house fields, village fields and bush fields) of the 180 selected households for the 12 studied sites. The number of species in the different land use types ranged from 96 to 102, but the majority of species were represented by less than 10 individuals. This indicates the selection effect made by the farmers to the parklands. Land use and farming system showed a clear effect on tree diversity in parklands. The effect of accessibility to market was evident in some cases whereas wealth status did not show any effect. Despite the statistical significant effect of farming system and land use type, the ANOVA models accounted for relatively little variation, indicating that other factors may contribute to tree diversity in parkland systems. The most threatened species were Adansonia digitata, Afzelia africana, Bombax costatum, Celtis integrifolia, Ficus asperifolia, Ficus iteophylla, Lannea velutina, and Parkia biglobosa. These species were represented in the largest diameter class (80 cm) or showed very few individuals in the different diameter classes. Due to the increasing degradation of the parklands, a domestication and conservation strategy of key threatened species needs to be developed and implemented with the participation of local communities.
