The ATLAS database is currently under active development through a collaborative network of researchers sharing data from tropical homegardens worldwide.
Our core objective is to compile standardized species inventories from multiple homegardens across diverse regions. At minimum, we seek for each homegarden:
Additional information—such as detailed functional trait data, sampling protocols, and management practices—is highly valuable and greatly enhances the analytical power of the database.
To better understand the ecological and environmental context, we will link the homegarden data with relevant external datasets, including:
This integrative approach will allow us to investigate how local conditions and plant traits jointly influence ecosystem services.
The database will be openly accessible as soon as a critical mass of harmonized data is assembled. Meanwhile, we will provide regular updates and summaries of progress on this website.
We warmly invite researchers and institutions holding relevant data to contribute to this collective effort. Your collaboration is essential to build a robust, representative, and actionable dataset to support sustainable agroecological transitions.
For inquiries or to share your data, please visit our Contact page.
Together, we can unlock the potential of tropical homegardens by building an unparalleled resource for science and practice.
