The Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) was developed at the World Agroforestry Centre for landscape level assessments and studies of carbon dynamics, vegetation changes, soil functional properties and soil hydrological properties. The LDSF has been implemented in more than 20 countries in Africa to date, including the CIAT-led [Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS)]("http://worldagroforestry ...
