2. Field survey of EbA practices

This data set includes field measurements of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) practices present on 300 smallholder coffee and maize farms in Central America. The database '2_Field_Survey_Database’ includes information on: 1) characteristics of coffee and basic grains plantations (including length, width, area, distance between plants, distance between lines, plant height, planted crop varieties, surrounding land uses, etc.), and 2) characteristics of EbA practices (i.e., live fences, windbreaks, shade trees, forest fragments, riparian forests), such as the width, length and area under the practice, species composition, and surrounding land uses. The accompanying glossary '2_Field_Survey_Glossary' provides a description of all variables in the ‘2_Field_Survey_Database’ and their respective units. Sheets 1 and 2 are in Spanish; sheets 3 and 4 are in English. The file ‘2_Field_Survey_Instrument' is the field protocol used to conduct measurements of EbA practices in the field. The document is in Spanish. The related file \"Metadata CASCADE WP4 datasets\" gives detailed information on the project, methods, data sets and files included in the dataverse 'Characteristics and use of EbA practices by smallholder farmers in Central America'.
