Description
|
Agronomic Radiation Use Efficiency (RUE) for maize stover biomass across the Ethiopia has been estimated under unfertilized conditions and under two different fertilizer application rates using crop model LINTUL5 embedded into the modeling framework SIMPLACE (Scientific Impact Assessment and Modelling Platform for Advanced Crop and Ecosystem Management. Purpose: To increase food production, identifying the regions with untapped production capacity is of prime importance and can be achieved by quantitative and spatially explicit estimates of Agronomic Radiation use efficiency, thus considering the spatial variation in environment and the production system.

Notes
| This dataset was first published on the institutional Repository "Zentrum für Entwicklungsforschung: ZEF Data Portal" with ID={a55a1323-cee3-4ef7-b28d-76ec15224334}. The Agronomic Radiation use efficiency in maize stover biomass under unfertilized conditions and under two fertilizer application rates, plotted in the map was calculated as the average values of 7 years (the year 2004 -2010). The unit is kilogram per MegaJoule (kg/MJ). Agronomic Radiation Use Efficiency (RUE)= Maize stover biomass (in kg)/ Cumulative Global Radiation during crop growth period (in megajoules) The climate data at the national scale was made available from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Goddard Institute of Space Studies(https://data.giss.nasa.gov/impacts/agmipcf/agmerra/), AgMERRA.The dataset is stored at 0.25°×0.25° horizontal resolution (~25km). Soil parameter values were extracted from the soil property maps of Africa at 1 km x 1 km resolution (http://http://www.isric.org/projects/soil-property-maps-africa-1-km-resolution). |
