Raw field data from the WASCAL core research sites Dano, Bontioli, Nazinga, and Bolgatanga on ecosystem services in terms of vegetation utilization, degradation and conservation by inhabitants of nine villages located in different savanna formations.

The table shows the turbidity-based suspended sediment concentration and loads as calculated based on the regression equation of turbidity and manually taken sediment samples.

Raw field data from the WASCAL core research sites Dano, Bontioli, Nazinga, and Bolgatanga on vegetation composition, dendrometric parameters of the woody vegetation within the sampling plots, and observed basic ecological parameters of the sampling sites located in different savanna formations.

Cotton yield in central field experiments in the main research sites of the WASCAL Core Research Program, 2013 Function of crop rotation and residue mangement, tillage and N fertilization. Data is captured on field plot level.

Total abundance of bee species in savannas of low (Nazinga area), medium (Bontioli area) and high (Dano area) disturbance intensity in the south of Burkina Faso. Data were collected with pan traps for a period of 21 months in 2014 and 2015 covering dry and rainy seasons of both years. Bees were sampled at 12 savanna sites and 11 nearby cotton fields and 11 sesame fields of ca. 1ha each. Bee sampling in the crop fields was carried out only during the rainy seasons from June to September (cotton: 2014 and 2015; sesame: 2015) when crops were in bloom.

Data describes harvest evolution in whole Benin between 2009 and 2010 in terms of yield, superficies used and productivity. The closer look of the ATACORA Department where WASCAL undertook fieldworks shows the previsions and the realizations between 2009 and 2010.

Household Head Survey in Biu, Upper East Region (2013) Topics: - demographics - income sources - land-use (esp. traditional crops, tomato, chili, rice, shea) - environmental and agronomic constrains in farming - natural hazards - development aid (esp. MOFA and USAID) - climatic dynamics - livelihood dynamics - gender - pro-poor engagement of relevant actors - opinion polling

This dataset is the sixth of a series of datasets addressing farmers' adaptation to climate change in West-Africa, specifically in Dassari, Benin. This data was obtained by interviews with smallholder farmers from various communities in the Dassari basin. It provides information on the household level on farming history, fertilizer use, crop rotation practices and the farmers' motivation behind changing their practice. Soil sample data provides information on N,P,K, C content with the intention of evaluating residual effect of fertilizer in soil. Data includes questionaire and results, and soil sample data all corresponding to multi-year study of fields. The coordinates of the soil sample plots can be obtained upon request to the author due to data privacy protection demands.
