(Journal Of Humanities And Social Science, 2014)A number of scholars agree that frequent cultivation raises soil bulk density through compaction and destruction of soil structure. However, no research has been conducted to establish how the intensity of farmland cultivated ... -
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.
