Dataset: Co-composting rose waste as a sustainable waste management strategy: Nutrient availability and disease control
<p>This dataset and these scripts supports the article 'Assessing the potential of co-composting rose waste as a sustainable waste management strategy: Nutrient availability and disease control' as published in Journal of Cleaner production. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2023.136685</p> <p>Roses are an important crop for the floricultural sector of Kenya and roses are a perennial crop and under continuous production for six to ten years. The cultivation produces large quantities of green waste, up to 50 kg per hectare per day. In this experiment we investigated the potential of co-composting rose waste on a small scale. The objective was to increase the understanding of composting lignocellulosic rose waste, which will help with the implementation of composting practices within Kenyan rose production and thereby reduce its negative ecological impact.</p> <p>In a small-scale composting system (30L) the evolution of five mixtures was closely monitored in terms of their physico-chemical parameters. Furthermore, the in-vitro disease suppressive capacity of mature rose waste was assessed. </p>

The Potential of Fragipans in Sustaining Pearl Millet during Drought Periods in North-Central Namiba (dataset)
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Sandy soils with fragipans are usually considered poorly suited for agriculture. However, these soils are cultivated in north-central Namibia as they can secure a minimum harvest during droughts. To understand the hydrological influence of fragipans in these soils, Ehenge, and what makes them valuable, their soil moisture content was measured over a time span of four months. These data were then compared to a deep soil without fragipan, Omutunda, which is more productive during normal years, but less productive during droughts. The results illustrate that the combination of sandy topsoil and shallow fragipan has beneficial effects on plant available water during dry periods, because of three reasons: (i) The high infiltration rate in the sandy topsoil, (ii) the prevention of deep drainage of water by the fragipan, and (iii) the limited evaporation losses through the capillary rise in the sand. The results also confirm the disadvantages of Ehenge during wet periods.</p> <p><strong>Description of Dataset</strong></p> <p>The dataset comprises a .pdf-file with a detailed data description, seven .csv-files (relevant datasets), and two txt-files with the R-code to produce the relevant Figures 4 and 5 from the paper “The Potential of Fragipans in Sustaining Pearl Millet during Drought Periods in North-Central Namibia” by Prudat et al. 2021.</p> <p><strong>File description<br> Rainfall.csv</strong>: daily rainfall in mm at two locations (<em>Omutunda</em> & <em>Ehenge</em>)<br> <strong>NDOB13_ehenge.csv/ NDOB13_omutunda.csv</strong>: soil temperature and soil moisture per minute<br> <strong>NDOB13_ehenge_daily.csv/ NDOB13_omutunda_daily.csv</strong>: soil temperature and volumetric soil moisture content (θ<sub>TDR</sub>) aggregated per day using the arithmetic mean<br> <strong>NDOB13_ehenge_RASW_daily.csv/ NDOB13_omutunda_RASW_daily.csv</strong>: The relative available soil water (RASW) was calculated based on the measured plant available water,</p> <p><strong>Scripts</strong><br> (1) <strong>RASW_rainfall_daily</strong>: Script to calculate and plot the relative available soil water (RASW) at the two stations and the rainfall<br> (2) <strong>Max_soil_surface_temperature</strong>: Script to calculate and plot the maximum soil surface temperature at the two stations</p> <p> </p><p><strong>References</strong></p> <p></p> <p>Cobos, D., Campbell, C., 2007.

Nutrient Inputs in Mesocosms of an Oligotrophic Lake Fail to Sustain an Algal Bloom, Lake George, NY, 2019
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems, and their frequency in oligotrophic lakes—previously thought resistant to such blooms due to their low nutrient levels—has been increasing. This challenges the traditional view that nutrient loading, a major driver of HABs, is less relevant in low-nutrient systems. To investigate whether nutrient enrichment plays a role in HAB development in oligotrophic lakes, we used in-lake mesocosms to assess the effects of varying nitrogen and phosphorus levels on pelagic communities over a 4-week period. The experiment utilized 20 mesocosms (~2,000 L each), with varying phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) concentrations, all maintaining a 30:1 N:P ratio, representing ten distinct nutrient levels (235:8 µg/L [control], 600:20 µg/L, 1200:40 µg/L, 1800:60 µg/L, 2400:80 µg/L, 3000:100 µg/L, 3600:120 µg/L, 4200:140 µg/L, 4800:160 µg/L, and 5400:180 µg/L). Nutrients were added twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays) to sustain the concentrations, with two replicates for each of the ten treatments, totaling 20 experimental units. Water samples were collected to assess water chemistry at two points during the experiment (days 12 and 26). The water chemistry variables measured included total phosphorus (TP), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), total nitrogen (TN), nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and chlorophyll a. Phytoplankton abundance and abiotic conditions (dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, and turbidity) were monitored on days 5, 7, 10, 13, 17, 19, 21. Grab samples were also collected on day 12 and 26 to identify phytoplankton species/abundance and zooplankton abundance. In this experiment, nutrient additions enhanced the fluorescence of chlorophyll a (indicative of total phytoplankton) and phycocyanin (a proxy for cyanobacteria), these increases plateaued at low nutrient levels and were transient. Phytoplankton species identification and enumeration revealed no significant changes
Residential housing segregation and urban tree canopy in 37 US Cities; data in support of Locke et al 2021 in npj Urban Sustainability
Our goal in this paper is to examine whether there are similar patterns in the distribution of tree canopy by Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) graded neighborhoods across 37 cities. A pre-print of the paper can be found here: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/97zcs This data packages contains: 1. City-specific file geodatabases with features classes of the HOLC polygons obtained from the Mapping Inequality Project https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/, and tables summarizing tree canopy, and in some cases other land cover classes. 2. An *.R script that replicates all of the analyses, graphs, and tables in the paper. Other double checks, exploratory, and miscellaneous outputs are created by the script too as a bonus. Everything in the paper can be done with the script; additional work outputs are also created. 3. A *.csv file containing city, the HOLC grade, and the percent tree canopy cover. This can be used to create the main findings of the paper and this flat file is provided as an alternative to running the R script to extract information from the geodatabases, combine, and analyze them. The intention is that this file is more widely accessible; the underlying information is the same. Redlining was a racially discriminatory housing policy established by the federal government’s Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) during the 1930s. For decades, redlining limited access to homeownership and wealth creation among racial minorities, contributing to a host of adverse social outcomes, including high unemployment, poverty, and residential vacancy, that persist today. While the multigenerational socioeconomic impacts of redlining are increasingly understood, the impacts on urban environments and ecosystems remains unclear. To begin to address this gap, we investigated how the HOLC policy administered 80 years ago may relate to present-day tree canopy at the neighborhood level. Urban trees provide many ecosystem services, mitigate the urban heat island effect

The ecological and economic benefits of sustainable agricultural practices
<p><strong>Code and data for Mata et al.'s <em>The ecological and economic benefits of sustainable agricultural practices: Evidence from on-farm trials in broad-acre crops. </em></strong></p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>1. A transition to more sustainable agricultural practices is essential to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of conventional farming and to ensure long-term food security. However, widespread adoption requires robust evidence demonstrating their efficacy and economic viability.</p> <p>2. We co-designed a two-year field trial with farmers and agronomy advisors in Australia to evaluate the ecological and economic outcomes of sustainable agricultural practices for managing the redlegged earth mite, a major pest of Australian crops and pastures. We compared 'Novel' treatments – representing long-term farmer-implemented sustainable practices based on biological control – with 'Conventional' treatments, and 'Plus' treatments designed as counterfactuals to disentangle the effects of specific pest control and plant nutrient components.</p> <p>3. Redlegged earth mite densities remained below economic thresholds across all treatments and years, demonstrating effective pest control in both conventional and sustainable systems. Notably, the Novel treatment supported higher densities of beneficial arthropods, suggesting increased biological control potential.</p> <p>4. Yield and gross profit margins were generally similar across treatments, indicating that sustainable agriculture practices can maintain profitability while fostering biodiversity.</p> <p>Practical implication. Our study provides evidence that biological control and biofertiliser supplementation can be effectively used to manage agricultural pests. It also demonstrates the value of close collaboration with farmers and agronomy advisors in conducting ecological field research with real-world applications.</p>
