The soil physics (PE-2: Soils project of CIAT) had several field experiments in both tropical savannas and hillsides agroecosystems. To organize the data, three big blocks were established: one block for hillsides agroecosystem and two blocks (Culticore and Plains (Altillanura)) for savannas ag...

The data included in this study were collected as a part of 'situation analysis' based on landscape characteristics and condition. The data were collected in four Africa RISING sites—Basona, Michew, Jawe, and Sinana—across four regions simultaneously with the soil sampling exercise.

General: Lab determined topsoil bulk density, contents of sand, clay and organic carbon in Murugusi, W. Kenya, together with spatial coordinates of where the soil samples were taken (rounded to the closest center point of a 250 m × 250 m raster). All lab analyses were carried out at the ILRI/CIAT...

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is plagued by low productivity and little research is available on the attainable responses and profitability to applied nutrients under variable environments. The objective of this study was to determine the attainable maize grain response to and potential of profitabili...

This household survey was conducted among 88 respondents by CIAT in three counties of western Kenya (Bungoma, Kakamega, and Siaya) in 2016. The main aim of the project was to conduct a cost benefit analysis of eight climate-smart soil (CSS) practices, as a step toward understanding whether they w...

EnglishThe Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) approach was used to generate maps of the soil texture (sand, silt, and clay) in Colombia, based on the soil geomorphology. The soil units were differentiated by land shapes using a STRM 90-m DEM, and stratified by geopedological units from the Agustín Codazz...

During the Phase I of the CCAFS project we conducted a systematic land and soil health assessment in Lushoto District in November 2012. These data were used to inform climate-smart agricultural interventions for the IFAD project as well as to parameterize DSSAT crop models for maize and beans. T...
