A digital catalog of high‐density markers for banana germplasm collections by Rouard, Mathieu, Sardos, Julie, Sempéré, Guilhem, Breton, Catherine, Guignon, Valentin, Houwe, Ines van den, Carpentier, Sebastien C., Roux, Nicolas Stephan M.

“…However, the lack of or difficult access to genetic diversity information limits the efficient utilization of these valuable resources. Here, we present a digital catalog of high‐density markers for banana germplasm conserved at the international banana collection. …”

A refined method for theory-based evaluation of the societal impacts of research by Belcher, B., Davel, R., Claus, R.

“…Specifically, the Outcome Evaluation approach: •Conceptualizes research within a complex system and explicitly recognizes the role of other actors, context, and external processes;•Utilizes a detailed actor-centred theory of change (ToC) as the analytical framework; and•Explicitly tests a set of hypotheses about the relationship between the research process/outputs and outcomes.…”

Mapping of smallholder oil palm plantation and development of a growth model by Okarda, B., Carolita, I., Kartika, T., Komarudin, Heru

“…Smallholder plantation accounts for 39% of total oil palm plantation in Indonesia, which is currently estimated at 12 million ha.Limited information on spatial distribution of smallholder oil palm and the growth of plantation pose a great challenge for providing information in scientific based.Therefore, information on smallholder oil palm plantation are necessary and they will give valuable input for policy maker and related stakeholders.This study is aimed to generate smallholder oil palm distribution map using optical satellite data of SPOT 7 and investigate the backscatter values of ALOS PALSAR-2 with height and age of oil palm in mineral soil and peatland.We mapped 46,756 ha of smallholder plantation or about 18% of total oil palm plantation in district of Kotawaringin Barat, Central Kalimantan province and 14% of which is located on peatland area.From the result, height to age mineral soil has a strong relationship with R 2 value 0.80 but weak in peatland with R 2 value 0.31.Relationship between height and backscatter in mineral soil has R 2 value 0.43 for HH and 0.30 for HV and in peatland 0.28 for HH and 0.15.Relationship between age and backscatter in mineral soil has moderately strong correlation with R 2 value 0.55 for HH and 0.37 for HV and in peatland 0.36 for HH and 0.28.In all relationship, independent variables are statistically significant with Significance-F value lower than 0.05.In general, height, age, and backscatter relationship in peatland is lower than in mineral soil.Backscatter value can be useful for studying height and age of smallholder oil palm.Further studies are suggested to involve more potential variables and utilize multi temporal datasets in determining height and age of oil palm trees using backscatter values.…”

A review of land-based greenhouse gas flux estimates in Indonesia by Austin, K.G., Harris, N.L., Wijaya, A., Murdiyarso, D., Harvey, T.J., Stolle, F., Kasibhatia, P.

“…We found that the largest changes stem from the inclusion of legacy GHG emissions due to peat drainage (which increased emissions by at least +94% compared to the reference), methane emissions due to peat fires (+35%), and GHG emissions from belowground biomass and necromass carbon pools (+61%), modifications to assumptions of the mass of fuel burnt in peat fire events (+88%), and accounting for regrowth following a deforestation event (−31%). These differences cumulatively explain more than half of the observed difference among inventory estimates. …”
