- Data on how tree planting and management practices influence tree seedling survival in Kenya and EthiopiaAuthor(s): Magaju, Christine; Winowiecki, Leigh; Bartolini, Pietro; Jeitani, Asma; Ochenje, Ibrahim; Frija, Aymen; Ouerghemmi, Hassen; Vagen, Tor-Gunnar; Makui, Parmutia; Bonaiuti, Enrico; Hagazi, Niguse; Tofu, Assefa; Sitotaw, Alemayehu; Crossland, Mary; Kiura, Esther; Hadgu, Kiros; Muriuki, Jonathan; Carsan, Sammy; Sola, Phosiso; Sinclair, Fergus (Elsevier (12 months))Date: 2021-04-21Type: Journal ArticleStatus: Open accessUnderstanding which trees farmers prefer, what determines their survival and enhancing farmer knowledge of tree management is key to increasing tree cover in agricultural landscapes. This article presents data on tree seedling survival under different tree planting and management practices in Kenya and Ethiopia. Data were collected from 1600 households across three Counties in Kenya and 173 households across four Woredas in Ethiopia, using a structured questionnaire which was administered through the Open Data Kit. Data on seedling survival were collected at least six months after tree seedlings were planted. To understand how planting and management practices influence tree planting across the different socioeconomic and biophysical contexts, both household level and individual tree level data were collected. Household level data included socio-economic and biophysical characteristics of the households while tree specific data included when the tree seedling was planted, where it was planted, the management practices employed and whether surviving. The datasets described in this article help understand which options confer the best chance survival for the planted seedlings and in which socio-economic and biophysical contexts they are most successful.
- CRP-GLDC Annual Report 2020Date: 2020-04-30Type: Internal ReportStatus: Open accessThe CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) is an international consortium led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and implemented by CGIAR, and non-CGIAR international research partners, NGO`s and NARES. This consortium strives to support beneficiaries in 13 priority countries in South Asia (SA) and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with a mission of improving rural livelihoods and nutrition by prioritizing demand-driven innovation to increase production and market opportunities along value chains. The CRP-GLDC envisions to increase productivity, profitability, resilience and marketability of critical and nutritious crops grown in the semi-arid and sub-humid dryland agroecologies of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia (SA) where poverty, malnutrition, climate change and soil degradation are most acute. Improved innovation capacities within agri-food systems of these crops are expected to enable coherent and integrated research and development, production, and market and policy reforms to contribute towards resilience, inclusion, poverty reduction, nutritional security, environmental sustainability and economic growth. This report presents the results of the CRP for the year 2020.
- Phenotypic Stability for tuber yield, Late Blight resistance in advanced clones from B3C3Author(s): Antonio Gastelo Benavides, Manuel (International Potato Center (CIP))Date: 2020-02-04Type: Internal ReportStatus: Open accessIn a selection process started in 2011 and involving 30,000 genotypes from the breeding group B3C3, 18 clones showed high phenotypic stability for tuber yields from 25.7-31.1 t ha-1. Moreover, 13 clones combine stability for commercial and total tuber yield and late blight resistance; these clones will be considered directly for variety release or will be further used in crossing plans of our national partners in Asia.

- CoED Soil retention ecosystems services in Aral Sea bed in Uzbekistan ENAuthor(s): Akramkhanov, AkmalDate: 2020-03-11Type: BrochureStatus: Open accessThe loss of the Aral Sea has changed the region's environment and caused significant economic and social consequences. The desert on the former seabed, Aralkum, has joined the list of global hotspots of sand and dust storms. A new project will measure the impacts of these storms and evaluate the effect of soil restoration measures to propose new mitigation measures.
- CoED Soil retention ecosystems services in Aral Sea bad in Uzbekistan RUAuthor(s): Akramkhanov, AkmalDate: 2020-03-11Type: BrochureStatus: Open accessВысыхание Аральского моря привело к изменению экологии в регионе и повлекло за собой значительные экономические и социальные последствия. Пустыня Аралкум, возникшая на бывшем морском дне, стала одним из глобальных источников песчаных и пыльных бурь. В рамках нового исследования намечаются изучение воздействия пыльно-солевых бурь и эффекта мероприятий по восстановлению почвы, а также разработка мер по сохранению почвенных экосистем.
- Community based rangeland management in Tataouine, south east of Tunisia: Taking successes in land restoration (Gdel) to scaleAuthor(s): Sghaier, Mongi; Fetoui, Mondher; Frija, Aymen; Sghaier, Mariem; Ben Salem, Farah; Robinson, Lance W. (International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA))Date: 2020-02-20Type: Internal ReportStatus: Timeless limited accessICARDA involvement under flagship 4 of CRP Livestock (on livestock and environment) is related to study of ecological practices and socioeconomic conditions that help for rangeland restoration under different land tenure systems. This is expected to help with the design and operation of successful natural resource management systems for pastoral drylands, and assist policymakers, government agencies, and development actors in their pastoral development agenda that can ensure sustainable rangeland resources. such programs require holistic understanding of socio-ecological interactions which have significant impact on resource governance.
