Description The LDSF was developed by World Agroforestry (ICRAF) in response to the need for consistent field methods and indicator frameworks to assess ecosystem health across landscapes. The LDSF measures multiple key indicators of land and soil health in order to understand drivers of degradation, as well as monitor changes over time (http://landscapeportal.org/blog/2015/03/25/the-land-degradation-surveillance-framework-ldsf/). The framework was applied within the Regreening Africa project: https://regreeningafrica.org/ and has been applied in projects across the global tropics. This project will benefit from existing data in the LDSF database, while at the same time contributing to these critically important global datasets through on-going data collection. This project contains data collected from two 100-km2 LDSF sites in eastern Rwanda in September and November 2018.
