Book (series)Guidelines for designing data collection and sharing systems for co-managed fisheries. Part 2: Technical guidelines. 2005
Also available in:
No results found.The increasing shift towards co-management has prompted managers to reflect upon their new roles and reconsider information requirements. This technical paper, in two parts, is aimed to meet the growing need among co-managers for guidelines to help design and implement appropriate and cost-effective data collection programmes or systems. Part 1: Practical guide has been written specifically for co-managers and facilitators working in the field and offers simple and practical advice on helping stakeholders identify their information needs in relation to their management objectives and responsibilities, and developing collaborative ways of collecting and sharing the information in the most effective way. Part 2: Technical guidelines provides more technical detail on each of the sections in the Practical guide, including examples of the types of data that might be of interest to different stakeholders, data collection methods and sources, the design of sampling pro grammes, and guidance on data analysis and interpretation. Part 2 is aimed particularly at Department of Fisheries and extension staff, research agencies and academic institutions, but can also provide field practitioners with an additional resource that can be referenced when necessary. Together, Parts 1 and 2 draw on relevant elements of the literature and the output of DFID-funded research, as well as the experiences and expressed needs of co-managers currently designing or prepar ing to design their own data collection systems. -

BookletCountry guidelines and technical specifications for global soil nutrient and nutrient budget maps
GSNmap: Phase 1
2022Also available in:
No results found.The "Country Guidelines provides guidance and technical specifications for the first phase of the GSNmap initiative which aims to generate national maps of soil nutrients and associated soil properties at 250 m resolution for agricultural lands based on a country–driven approach. On the one hand, soil nutrient maps will provide a baseline for identifying areas where their levels are critical for crop growth and will thus serve as an important decision–making tool. On the other hand, associated soil parameters such as organic carbon, pH, soil texture, bulk density, and cation exchange capacity will be mapped, which can highlight the key limits to nutrient availability. In order to obtain consistent results and to allow comparisons between countries and regions, we propose a standard methodology based on digital soil mapping techniques. General modelling procedures, data requirements and data sources are described. The final product specifications and data submission formats are also provided. The final product will be relevant to identify the level of nutrients and associated soil properties per regions, environments and agricultural systems, and to establish priorities for the implementation of global and national public and private policies.
