A deconvolutional Bayesian mixing model approach for river basin sediment source apportionment
(Scientific Reports, 2018-08-30)
Increasing complexity in human-environment interactions at multiple watershed scales presents
major challenges to sediment source apportionment data acquisition and analysis. Herein, we present
a step-change in the ...
Effect of Rhizobium and Intercropping Systems on Soil Nutrients and Biological Nitrogen Fixation as Influenced by Legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos lablab)
(International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2016-10-10)
The study was conducted to assess the effect of Rhizobium inoculation and
intercropping systems on soil nutrients improvement and biological nitrogen
fixation as influenced by two legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos ...
Effects of intercropping systems and Rhizobium inoculation on yields of maize (Zea mays) and two legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos lablab)
(International Journal of Biosciences, 2017-02-28)
This study aimed to assess the effect of intercropping systems, Rhizobium inoculation and legumes on yield
components and grain yields of maize and two legumes. To achieve this objective, field experiments were
executed ...
Improving Soil Fertility and Crops Yield through Maize-Legumes (Common bean and Dolichos lablab) Intercropping Systems
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2016-11-15)
Declining crops yield in the smallholder farmers cropping systems of sub-Saharan African (SSA) present the
need to develop more sustainable production systems. Depletion of essential plant nutrients from the soils have
been ...
Drivers of increased soil erosion in East Africa’s agro-pastoral systems: changing interactions between the social, economic and natural domains
(Springer, 2019-06-08)
Increased soil erosion is one of the main drivers of land degradation in East Africa’s agricultural and pastoral landscapes. This wicked problem is rooted in historic disruptions to co-adapted agro-pastoral systems. ...
Soil erosion in East Africa: an interdisciplinary approach to realising pastoral land management change
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2018-12-03)
Implementation of socially acceptable and environmentally desirable solutions to soil erosion
challenges is often limited by (1) fundamental gaps between the evidence bases of different disciplines
and (2) an implementation ...
We will change whether we want it or not”: Soil erosion in Maasai land as a social dilemma and a challenge to community resilience
(Elsevier, 2019-10-31)
Soil erosion is a major environmental challenge that undermines economic development in many regions of the world. While much previous work explored physical processes behind this problem, less attention has been paid to ...
Effects of Rhizobium Inoculation and Cropping systems on Leaf Litter Decomposition of Two legumes (Common bean and Lablab)
(Society of Education, 2018-03)
Crop litter residues decompose and provide nutrients in to the soil. Decomposition is a process which is accelerated by
sufficient soil conditions (good soil physical properties, soil moisture and microorganisms) and ...
