Description

This dataset captures the economic value of ecosystem services generated by agroforestry systems in Africa. It is based on a systematic literature review (SLR) as well as focus group discussions conducted in selected countries across Africa. The dataset is composed of 164 variables. Descriptive variables indicate details such as source, country and specific location, tree/crop species, sapling survival rate and spacing between trees. The economic factors like inflation deflation and exchange rate are listed. The actual economic values are then divided into costs and benefits. The total costs are separated into maintenance costs and establishment costs. Total, establishment and maintenance costs as well as total benefits are given in USD 2020, the individual value categories are expressed in the currencies used in the original sources for traceability. The cost variables mainly refer to inputs and labour, while the benefits include variables such as income, yield, tree fruits, and sale of tree products.

User Guide

Expected crawler behaviour

Use a stable, truthful User-Agent with product/version and a working contact URL. Across all IP addresses and HTTP connections used by one crawler identity, allow no more than 5 requests in flight and wait at least 20 seconds between request starts. Crawl URLs listed in the catalog sitemap, including file pages and download URLs when they are published, use conditional requests, honor Retry-After, and apply exponential backoff after errors.

The welcome page may link to the interactive repository for human navigation. Automated clients must not treat that human link as a catalog crawl target.

Read the live machine-readable crawler policy before and during a crawl. Stop crawling when it reports CPU or memory utilization at or above 80% and 80% respectively.
