Dataset associated with Vanek et al., 2020, "Participatory design of improved forage/fallow options across soil gradients with farmers of the central Peruvian Andes"

There are three files of which two are data files in .csv format and a file with variable descriptions and units in pdf format. These contain key data from a four-year long experiment at a number of sites in the Peruvian Andes, testing forage based fallows. One data file has growth data of forages and naturally occurring vegetation in fallow plots over the first three years of the experiment, in three community zones of the study (described in the publication). The second data file has potato yield data and baseline/endline soils data that was used to assess the effects of fallow practices on soils, from nine fields in one community zone where a followup, one year trial of potatoes was planted. More details can be found in the publication in Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment.
