Ecosystem Baseline Report. Ecosystem Baseline Assessment For The “Building Resilient Communities in Somalia (BRCiS) III” Programme
This ecosystem baseline assessment aims to provide a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of land health across 37 BRCiS III project areas, delineated based on the shared use of natural resources. Through an extensive ecosystem field data collection campaign, in combination with remote sensing and machine learning approaches, this assessment considers a variety of soil, vegetation, climate and social indicators to assess the ecosystem health from multiple dimensions. The objectives of this report are to provide a field-based assessment of the current state of ecosystem health at several BRCiS III project areas in Somalia and assess ecosystem health at the project area level based on vegetation, soil, climate and soil health indicators.
