A New Sterol Diglycoside from Conyza floribunda
(The South African Journal of Chemistry, 2009)
Chemical investigation of CH2Cl2 and MeOH extracts of Conyza floribunda have led to the isolation of (24S)-ethylcholesta-5, 22E, 25-trien-3-O-glucosyl (1” 4’)-rhamnoside (1), (24S)-ethylcholesta-5,25-dien-3-O- -glucoside ...
Range Use and Trophic Interactions by Agropastoral Herds in Southeastern Kenya
(2005)
Habitat utilization patterns and feeding interaction of free ranging agropastoral herds were investigated in two cycles of four consecutive grazing periods, in a semiarid environment, southeastern Kenya. The bites count ...
Range use and dynamics in the agropastoral system of southeastern Kenya
(2008)
Occurrence of equilibrium and non equilibrium system dynamics in semiarid environments present serious management challenges. In these areas, resource management strategies are increasingly based on equilibrium rather than ...
The Role of Moisture in the Successful Rehabilitation of Denuded Patches of a Semi-Arid Environment in Kenya
(2005)
This study investigated the role of moisture in the successful rehabilitation of denuded patches in semi-arid lands of Kenya and the primary productivity of three perennial rangelands grasses namely Cenchrus ciliaris ...
Feeding value of Acacia tortilis pods in goats
(2003)
Fresh Acacia tortilis pods were mixed with low quality native grass hay to form 5 rations - T 1 (100% hay), T 2 (25% pods + 75% hay), T 3 (50% hay + 50% pods), T 4 (75% pods + 25% hay) and T 3 (100% pods). Male goat groups ...
INFLUENCE OF GRAZING BY LARGE MAMMALS ON THE SPIDER COMMUNITY OF A KENYAN SAVANNA BIOME
(Bio One complete, 2005-09)
Pitfall trap and sweep net samples were taken over a period of fifteen months (2002– 2003) in the Kenya Long-term Exclosure Experiment (KLEE), in which the presence of domestic and wild herbivores have been independently ...
Hydrologic properties of grazed perennial swards in semiarid southeastern Kenya
(2009)
Identification of plant resources that persist under grazing pressure, support desirable levels of production and at the same time protect the grazing environment is central to sustainable livestock production. This study ...
