Nitrogen fertilizer rate increases plant uptake and soil availability of essential nutrients in continuous maize production in Kenya and Zimbabwe
Low fertilizer application rates for several decades have depleted soil nutrients in Sub-
Saharan Africa (SSA) and contributed to relatively stagnant maize (Zea mays L.) yields. As …

Long-term activity of social insects responsible for the physical fertility of soils in the tropics
Ferralsols correspond to the red and yellow soils that are common in the tropics. They are
deeply weathered but physical fertility is high because they exhibit a strong microgranular …

Agricultural land is the main source of stream sediments after conversion of an African montane forest
In many parts of Africa, soil erosion is an important problem, which is evident from high
sediment yields in tropical montane streams. Previous studies in Kenya pointed to a large …
