Growth performance of bamboo in tobacco-growing regions in South Nyanza, Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2008)
The study was carried out on 120 field experimentation sites where 2420 bamboo cuttings were planted under the same natural tobacco growing conditions in five different zones (that is, zone A = hillside/steep sloping ...
Predicting Mammal Species Richness from Remotely Sensed Data at Different Spatial Scales
(2008-12-05)
Spatial variability in species richness has been postulated to depend upon environmental factors such as climatic variability, Net primary productivity and habitat heterogeneity. The Advanced Very High Resolution ...
Understanding the relationship between environmental energy availability and bird species richness in Kenya using remote sensing and ancillary data
(2008-12-05)
The energy hypothesis predicts that, in regions of roughly equal area, energy flux per unit of area should be the
prime determinant of species richness. In the case of plants, primary production represents realized energy ...
Body size and abundance relationship: an index of diversity for herbivores
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001-11-01)
It is evident to any biologist that small-bodied species within a given higher taxon (order, class, phylum, etc.) tend to be represented by more individuals. Hence small-bodied species are generally more abundant than ...
Spatial patterns of species diversity in Kenya
(2001)
It is evident to any biologist that small-bodied species within a given higher taxon
(order, class, phylum, etc) tend to be represented by more individuals. Hence smallbodied species are generally more abundant than ...
Environmental factors influencing bird species diversity in Kenya
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2001-09)
Sustainable resource management requires understanding the factors that increase or decrease species richness. Regional species richness patterns may be predicted by analysing patterns of variation in the environment. A ...
Mapping habitat and biological diversity in the Maasai Mara ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2003-01-01)
There is need to identify ecosystems that support richer assemblages of biological species in order to preserve habitats and protect the greatest number of species. Remotely sensed data hold tremendous potential for mapping ...
Biodiversity assessment by remote sensing
(2003-11-10)
Measuring the complexity of species in (semi)
natural environments is time consuming and expensive. In
this paper we summarise remote sensing techniques developed
for mapping and monitoring biodiversity of herbivores ...
Politics and the enforcement of the Uganda Forestry Policy 2001: lessons from South Busoga central Forest Reserve, Mayuge district, Eastern Uganda.
(Medwell Publishing, 2012)
The competitiveness of multiparty political dispensation in the developing world has led well placed politicians to dish out open access natural resources in exchange for votes. This therefore has brewed conflict between ...
Government regulatory system and compliance with Forestry Policy in South Busoga Forest Reserve, Mayuge district-Uganda.
(Medwell Publishing, 2012)
Administrative innuendo exhibited in the Ugandan forestry docket had its genesis from de-legitimisation of the policies ostensibly, attributed to conflicts by stakeholders on natural resources, manifested in non-compliance ...
