Different land use types in the semi-arid rangelands of Kenya influence soil properties
Rangelands in semi-arid Kenya have recently witnessed extensive land use changes. These changes
can mainly be attributed to increased livestock populations and the response of the increased human
population to both local and exogenous opportunities and constraints. This study was carried out in
Kibwezi district of Kenya mainly inhabited by agro-pastoralists. The main objective of this study was to

The Desert Margins Programme Approaches in Upscaling Best-Bet Technologies in Arid and Semi-arid Lands in Kenya
Kenya’s land surface is primarily arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) which account for 84% of the total land area. The Desert Margins Programme (DMP) in Kenya has made some contribution to understanding which technology options have potential in reducing land degradation in marginal areas and conserving biodiversity through demonstrations, testing of the most promising natural resource management options, developing sustainable alternative livelihoods and policy guidelines, and replicating successful models.
Abundance And Diversity Of Soil Mites (acari) Along A Gradient Of Land Use Types In Taita Taveta, Kenya
The abundance and diversity of soil mites was monitored along a gradient of land use types (LUTs) during the wet seasons in soils of Taita Taveta, Kenya. Sampling of mites from soils was carried out in eight LUTs which included maize-based system (Zea mays), coffee (Coffea Arabica), horticulture, napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum), fallow, pine (Pinus patula), cypress (Cypressus lusitanica), natural forest.
