Sanou, Lassina; Savadogo, Patrice; Zida, Didier; Thiombiano, Adjima, 2020, "Replication Data for: Comparison of aboveground vegetation and soil seed bank composition at sites of different grazing intensity around a savanna-woodland watering point in West Africa", https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/N8IWPC, World Agroforestry (ICRAF), V1, UNF:6:sRu4k6LovPfKPbpBacs6dQ== [fileUNF]
Grazing removes a plant’s aboveground vegetative and reproductive tissues and can modify the soil seed bank, potentially impacting the restoration of preferred species. Knowledge about aboveground vegetation and species composition of soil seed bank and the processes that contrib... |

Koala J.,; Sawadogo L; Savadogo P; Aynekulu E; Heiskanen J; Saïd M, 2020, "Replication Data for: Allometric equations for below-ground biomass of four key woody species in West African savanna-woodlands", https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/7TVOVY, World Agroforestry (ICRAF), V1, UNF:6:piSU72iVd0KSHVjFsWmpGg== [fileUNF]
Accurate estimates of both above-ground biomass (AGB) and below-ground biomass (BGB) are essential for estimating carbon (C) balances at various geographical scales and formulating effective climate change mitigation programs. However, estimating BGB is challenging, particularly... |

Goldberg, Stefanie D; Zhao, Yongli; Harrison, Rhett D; Monkai, Jutamart; Li, Yuwu; Chau, Kating; Xu, Jianchu, 2018, "Replication Data for: Soil respiration in sloping rubber plantations and tropical natural forests in Xishuangbanna, China", https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/SQA0DU, World Agroforestry - Research Data Repository, V1, UNF:6:KYUrfRb7smCJ5e5HUnG22A== [fileUNF]
Soil respiration (SR) plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. The widespread and continued conversion of tropical forests to plantations is expected to drastically alter CO2 production in soil, with significant consequences for atmospheric concentrations of this cruci... |

Some tree improvement programs in Africa use nursery tests to investigate genetic and geographic variation in growth, but do they lead to the same conclusions as field tests? We investigated this question using provenance/progeny tests (12 provenances, 108 families) of Balanites... |
