Floristic Composition, Affinities and Plant Formations in Tropical Forests: A Case Study of Mau Forests in Kenya
(International Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, 2015)
In the past, Mau forest complex has faced a wide range of disturbances majorly anthropogenic in nature. In this
paper, the ecosystem floristic composition, richness, diversity and affinities are evaluated. Diameter at ...
The Biological Assessment and Rehabilitation of the World’s Rivers: An Overview
(Water, 2021-01-31)
The biological assessment of rivers i.e., their assessment through use of aquatic assemblages,
integrates the effects of multiple-stressors on these systems over time and is essential to evaluate
ecosystem condition and ...
Synergistic effects of long-term herbivory and previous fire on fine-scale heterogeneity of prescribed grassland burns
(Ecology, 2020-10)
Grassland and savanna ecosystems, important for both livelihoods and biodiversity conservation, are strongly affected by ecosystem drivers such as herbivory, fire, and drought. Interactions among fire, herbivores and ...
Naïve plant communities and individuals may initially suffer in the face of reintroduced megafauna: An experimental exploration of rewilding from an African savanna rangeland
(PLOS ONE, 2021-04-06)
Excluding large native mammals is an inverse test of rewilding. A 25-year exclosure experiment in an African savanna rangeland offers insight into the potentials and pitfalls of the rewilding endeavor as they relate to the ...

290IMPACTS OF COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES ON ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES: THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING PAYMENT SCHEMES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
(VDM Dr Muller Gmbh and co, 2011-01)
Natural resources have continued to be degraded largely because of lack of well-defined property rights, population pressure, high levels of poverty and the lack of proper understanding of deleterious impacts of human ...
Globalization and Biodiversity Conservation Problems: Polycentric REDD+ Solutions
(MDPI, 2019-02-19)
Noise barriers are the most widespread solution to mitigate noise produced by the continuous growth of vehicular traffic, thus reducing the large number of people exposed to it and avoiding unpleasant effects on health. ...
Anthropogenic activities affect forest structure and arthropod abundance in a Kenyan biodiversity hotspot
(2023-07)
Land-use change remains the main threat to tropical forests and their dependent fauna and flora, and degradation of existing forest remnants will further accelerate species loss. Forest degradation may result directly from ...
Spawning interactions between hatchery-reared and wild naturalized rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum, 1792) in high-altitude tropical streams, Kenya
(Wiley, 2022-07)
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is among the most widely translocated fish species in the world. The current study evaluated the spawning interactions between naturalized and wild rainbow trout from two high-altitude ...
Natural Radioactivity and radiological Hazard analysis of Construction stones from various queries in Machakos County Kenya. Radiation Protection Dosimetry.
(2023-07)
The radioactivity levels of rocks sampled from the quarries of Kyasioni, Mavoloni and Kathaana located in the lower Eastern County of Machakos in Kenya were determined. Forty-two samples were collected using stratified ...
