In Kenya, the below-ground biodiversity (BGBD) project selected two benchmark sites for the inventory of soil biota; these included the Irangi and Ngangao forest sites in the Mount Kenya region of Embu District and the Taita Hills area of Taita Taveta District. The areas selected by the project w...


Muya, EAKaranja, NOkoth, Peter F.Roimen, HMung'atu, Joseph K.Mutsotso, BThuranira, EG[Comparative description of land use and characteristics of belowground biodiversity benchmark sites in Kenya = Descripción comparativa de usos del suelo y características de la diversidad del subsuelo en sitios empleados como referencia en Kenia]Comparative description of land use and characteristics of belowground biodiversity benchmark sites in Kenya = Descripción comparativa de usos del suelo y características de la diversidad del subsuelo en sitios empleados como referencia en Kenia

Guei, AMOkoth, Peter F.Tondoh, Jérôme E.[Maize growth and production as influenced by earthwormbased integrated soil fertility management in tropical agroecosystems]Maize growth and production as influenced by earthwormbased integrated soil fertility management in tropical agroecosystems

The reasons for the lack of inclusion of below-ground biodiversity in the Kenyan policy and legal framework were sought. Gaps were identified in the relevant sectoral policies and laws in regard to the domestication of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Below -ground biodiversity had n...


Achieng, COkoth, Peter F.Macharia, AOtor, S[Policy framework for utilization and conservation of below-ground biodiversity in Kenya = Estrategias para la utilización y conservación de la biodiversidad del subsuelo en Kenia]Policy framework for utilization and conservation of below-ground biodiversity in Kenya = Estrategias para la utilización y conservación de la biodiversidad del subsuelo en Kenia

Soils are increasingly recognized as major contributors to ecosystem services such as food production and climate regulation (1, 2), and demand for up-to-date and relevant soil information is soaring. But communicating such information among diverse audiences remains challenging because of incons...


Sánchez, P.A.Ahamed, SCarre, FHartemink, A.E.Hempel, JHuising, JeroenLagacherle, PMcBratney, ABMcKenzie, NMendonca-Santos, MLMinasny, BMontanarella, LOkoth, Peter F.Palm, C.A.Sachs, JDShepherd, Keith D.Vagen, T.G.Vanlauwe, BernardWalsh, MWinowiecki, Leigh A.Zhang, GL[Digital soil map of the world]Digital soil map of the world

In this study, the impact of forest disturbance on earthworm assemblages was assessed using monoliths dug out at 5 m intervals along a gradient of land-use intensification. The land-use types comprised primary forest (as a baseline), secondary forest, tree plantation, fallow, perennial and annual...


Tondoh, Jérôme E.Guei, AMCsyzdum, COkoth, Peter F.[Effect of land-use on the earthworm assemblages in semi-deciduous forests of Central-West Ivory Coast]Effect of land-use on the earthworm assemblages in semi-deciduous forests of Central-West Ivory Coast

The distribution of Trichoderma species in soils of Embu region in relation to land use practices was investigated. The study area was chosen because of its significant land use intensification. Soil washing and dilution plate techniques were used to recover Trichoderma spp from soil samples. The...


Okoth, Sheila A.Roimen, HMutsotso, BMuya, EAKahindi, JHPOwino, JOOkoth, Peter F.[Land use systems and distribution of Trichoderma species in Embu region, Kenya = Relación entre uso del suelo y la distribución de Trichoderma en la región de Embu, Kenia]Land use systems and distribution of Trichoderma species in Embu region, Kenya = Relación entre uso del suelo y la distribución de Trichoderma en la región de Embu, Kenia

Soil samples were collected from 8 land use types in Embu to study the effects of land use on soil chemical and physical parameters and on the occurrence of Trichoderma spp. The fungus was recovered from the soil using the dilution plate and soil washing technique. The remaining soil samples were...
