Estimation of Above Ground Biomass in Forests Using Alos Palsar Data in Kericho and Aberdare Ranges
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017)
Above Ground Biomass is one of the six pools identified in the inventory of forest resources and estimation of greenhouse gas emissions and sinks from the forestry sector. The pool varies by management practices in different ...
Effects of Sawdust, Forest Soil and Cow Dung Mixtures on Growth Characteristics of Blue Gum (Eucalyptus saligna) Seedlings in South Kinangop Forest, Nyandarua, Kenya
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2017-09)
Forestation programs, in Kenya have been hindered by, among others, high cost of tree seedling production and longtime seedlings stay in the nursery. This has been attributed to poor quality of forest soil and unavailability ...
Spatial scales influence long-term response of herbivores to prescribed burning in a savanna ecosystem
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, 2017-01)
Both wild and prescribed fire in savanna ecosystems influence habitat use by herbivores by creating or maintaining spatial and temporal heterogeneity in forage quality and vegetation cover. Yet little is known about how ...

Fire disturbance disrupts an acacia ant–plant mutualism in favor of a subordinate ant species
(Wiley and sons, 2017-03)
Although disturbance theory has been recognized as a useful framework in examining the stability of ant–plant mutualisms, very few studies have examined the effects of fire disturbance on these mutualisms. In myrmecophyt ...
Influence of cattle on browsing and grazing wildlife varies with rainfall and presence of megaherbivores
(The Ecological Society of America, 2017)
In many savanna ecosystems worldwide, livestock share the landscape and its resources with wildlife. The nature of interactions between livestock and wildlife is a subject of considerable interest and speculation, yet ...

(Elsevier, 2017)
A number of leafy vegetables,their protein concentrates and hydrolasates are under evaluation as alternative protein ingredients to fish meal(FM)in aqua feeds. This study evaluated the nutritional characteristics and ...
Application Of Hydrological Models In Poorly Gauged Watersheds: A Review Of The Usage Of The Soil And Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) In Kenya
(International Journal of Scientific & Technology Research, 2017-08)
In water-scarce developing countries, river basins are some of the most valued natural resources, but many are poorly gauged and have incomplete hydrological and climate records. In the recent years, tropical rivers are ...
