Interactive effects of livestock and trees on nutrients and herbaceous layer production in a humid Kenyan savanna
(East African Journal of Science and Technology,, 2012)Savannas are key ecosystems that provide vital services such as fodder for wild and domestic animals, recreation, biodiversity habitats, CO2 sequestration and timber. Their characteristics and distribution make them ... -
Interactive influence of rainfall manipulation and livestock grazing on species diversity of the herbaceous layer community in a humid savannah in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2019-06-01)Changes in rainfall regime and grazing pressure affect vegetation composition and diversity with ecological implications for savannahs. The savannah in East Africa has experienced increased livestock grazing and rainfall ... -

Interannual variability of NDVI and bird species diversity in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2000-01-01)Species richness, or simply the number of species in a given area, is commonly used as an important indicator of biological diversity. Spatial variability in species richness has been postulated to depend upon environmental ... -
Interannual variability of NDVI and species richness in Kenya
(International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), 2000)A central task in community ecology is to determine biophysical controls of species richness patterns. Most multivariate models relating environmental characteristics to species richness were developed with sparse point ... -
