• Ridge-furrow plastic-mulching with balanced fertilization in rainfed maize (Zea mays L.): An adaptive management in east African Plateau 

  Mo, Fei; Wang, Jian-Yong; Zhou, Hong; Luo, Chong-Liang; Zhang, Xiao-Feng; Li, Xiao-Yan; Li, Feng-Min; Xiong, Liang-Bing; Kavagi, Levis; Nguluu, Simon N.; Xiong, You-Cai (Elsevier Masson, 2017-04-15)

  Adaptive management on rainfed agricultural ecosystem is crucial to improve field productivity and soil carbon sequestration under climate change, particularly in semiarid east African Plateau (EAP). We first introduced ...
• Joint atmospheric-terrestrial water balances for East Africa: a WRF-Hydro case study for the upper Tana River basin 

  Kerandi, Noah; Arnault, Joel; Laux, Patrick; Wagner, Sven; Kitheka, Johnson U.; Kunstmann, Harald (Springer Verlag, 2017-02-01)

  For an improved understanding of the hydrometeorological conditions of the Tana River basin of Kenya, East Africa, its joint atmospheric-terrestrial water balances are investigated. This is achieved through the application ...
• Effect of integrated soil fertility management on greenhouse tomato yields in semi arids of Kitui. 

  Mbaluka, Titus L.; Muli, Benjamin K.; Muasya, Reuben M. (2017)

  Globally the demand for food is increasing due to the increase in population. In sub Saharan Africa degrading soils necessitates novel approaches to soil fertility management. The aim of this research was to investigate ...
• The effect of charcoal production and other land uses on diversity, structure and regeneration of woodlands in a semi-arid area in Kenya 

  Kiruki, Harun M.; van der Zanden, Emma H.; Gikuma-Njuru, P.; Verburg, Peter H. (Elsevier, 2017-05-01)

  Woodlands in Kenya are under pressure from agriculture, livestock keeping and a host of timber and non-timber forest uses, including charcoal production. However, the exact influence of charcoal production and other ...
• Yield-phenology relations and water use efficiency of maize (Zea mays L.) in ridge-furrow mulching system in semiarid east African Plateau: a cross-sectional study 

  Mo, Fei; Jian-Yong, Wang; Feng-Min, Li; Nguluu, Simon N.; Hong-Xu, Ren; Zhou, Hong; Zhang, Jian; Kariuki, Charles W.; Gicheru, Patrick; Kavagi, Levis; Cheruiyot, Wesly K.; You-Cai, Xiong (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-04)

  Yield-phenology relation is a critical issue affecting rainfed maize field productivity in semiarid east African Plateau (EAP). We first introduced Chinese ridge-furrow mulching (RFM) system to EAP, using three maize ...
