Changes in forest fragment sizes and primate population trends along the River Tana floodplain, Kenya

G. M. Wahungu; P. K. Muoria; N. N. Moinde; N. O. Oguge; J. N. Kirathe (2005)

Abstract The Tana River forest patches significantly decreased in total area by 1875 ha (34.5%), from 5439 to 3564 ha between 1979 and 2000. The area covered by forests outside the Tana River Primate National Reserve ...
Impregnability of Grevillea robusta using the sap displacement method

Francis Mburu, Fred Muisu, Peter Sirmah and Philippe Gerardin (2005)

The utility of construction timber can be improved through low-cost treatment methods that reduce the cost of replacing structural timbers replacement and thus help to conserve forests. The sap displacement method is simple ...
Biodiversity and sustainable management of a tropical wetland lake ecosystem: A case study of Lake Kanyaboli, Kenya

Abila Romulus, Joseph O. Rasowo and Julius Manyala (2005)

Lake Kanyaboli and the surrounding Yala swamp wetland has been recognized as an important biodiversity hotspot. Recent population genetic and phylogenetic studies confirm the evolutionary importance of Lake Kanyaboli ...
The small mammal community of Mukogodo Forest, Kenya

Webala, Paul W.; Muriuki, George; Lala, Fredrick.; Bett, Alice (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006)

Species richness and diversity of rodents and insectivores were investigated at relict forest patches of Mukogodo, Laikipia, Kenya using Sherman’s live traps and pitfall traps. Two hundred and nineteen individuals were ...
Evaluation of thermally modified Grevillea robusta heartwood as an alternative to shortage of wood resource in Kenya: Characterisation of physicochemical properties and improvement of bio-resistance

Francis Mburu, Ste´phane Dumarc¸ay , Franc¸oise Huber , Mathieu Petrissans and Philippe Ge´rardin (2007)

Heat treatment of Grevillea robusta, a tropical wood species of low natural durability, was carried-out under inert conditions to improve its decay resistance. Resistance of heat treated samples was evaluated by malt agar ...
Cluster analysis in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)

Kamundia, John Waweru; Mahasi, Mabel Jendeka (2007-07)

Many oilseed crops (e.g. sunflower, soybeans, rapeseed/mustard, sesame, groundnuts etc) are grown in Kenya. But oilseed rape is preferred because of its high yields (1.5 tons – 4.0 tons/ha) with high oil content of 42 – ...
