GCRF Ethiopian enset agri-systems: soil and farm surveys datasets
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This folder contains two files:1. soilData_database_Zenodo.xlsx2. farmSurveys_database_Zenodo.xlsx The first file soilData_database_Zenodo.xlsx contains soil data that was sampled along 8 elevation transects in the South-West of Ethiopia in 2019 and 2020. Along each transect, 10 sites were surveyed to find farms cultivating the local staple crop enset (Ensete ventricosum) and other main crops in the regions: wheat, maize, faba bean. For each field, soil samples were taken and send to a lab for analyses. Pasture land and eucalyptus plots were also surveyed. Detailed description can be found in the preprint: http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4479411 The second file farmSurveys_database_Zenodo.xlsx contains data obtained from farm surveys in the same region in 2020. Data about household structure and area of each cultivated crops were collected, together with information about crop management. Part of this dataset has been used and is described in Rampersad et al., 2023, https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp3.10407
