Hi, I am an MIT student at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines, Cagayan de Oro City Campus. I am currently conducting research on AI-Driven Crop Suitability and Root Density Mapping for Agroforestry in Claveria, Misamis Oriental. To support the feasibility of this study, I am requesting access to the following data: 1. Soil Data for Claveria, Misamis Oriental (if available) OR Misamis Oriental Soil Data - Soil fertility reports (pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, organic matter, and moisture retention). - Historical soil survey results or regional soil maps. - Any available soil classification and land suitability maps. 2. Historical Farm Reports - Past farm productivity reports for Claveria (or similar upland agricultural areas). - Reports on soil erosion risks, land degradation, and agricultural land use. 3. Geospatial and Topographical Data - Available soil texture and erosion risk maps. - Digital Elevation Models (DEM) or LiDAR-based land assessment reports. If specific data for Claveria is unavailable, I would like to request access to nationwide or regional datasets that BSWM has compiled, which may serve as baseline references for soil characteristics in Claveria. I am particularly interested in datasets covering upland agroforestry and intercropping systems, as these can provide insights applicable to my research area. These datasets will be used solely for academic and research purposes, and I will comply with all data security and confidentiality guidelines. I am willing to follow any formal procedures, including signing data-sharing agreements or covering applicable fees for access. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response. Sincerely,
