The Kenya Government has over a number of years pursued policies geared towards the promotion of secondary towns. Included in this strategy is the achievement of an orderly and coordinated urban land development. However, experience from these towns indicates that, planned land development has encountered a lot of bottlenecks particularly in relation to the institution of private ownership of land. This paper traces the land tenure systems that have existed in the Kenya’s secondary towns.
Effects of soil type, vegetation and land use on infiltration rate and related soil physical properties in two semi-arid catchments in Laikipia District Triticum aes tivum l.)
Effects of soils, vegetation and land use on infiltration
rates and related soil physical properties of the semi-arid
Sirima and Hukogodo catchments in Laikipia district were
investigated. Representative six soils in Sirima and four
soils in Hukogodo, surveyed at detailed level, were assessed.
Within soil types, four site condition treatments with respect
to vegetation cover and land use designated as Tr_ee/Bush _(TB),
Open Grass (OG), Bare Ground (BG) and Cultivated Surface (CS)
Soil type and landuse effects on infiltration in Sirima and Mukogodo catchments, Laikipia District
Indigenous flora conservation in Kenya.
This paper describes the environmental degradation that has occurred in Kenya since early this century, initially due to the introduction of plantation farming. Forests have been further targeted for farmland, fuel wood, building materials and hardwood species. Range land species have also become threatened due to continued infiltration of the population. The discussion considers the efforts of the Kenyan government to legislate and administrate against the further loss of natural resources and the consequent development of environmental awareness among the populace.
The Effect of Land Treatment and Seeding Methods on Establishment of Three Range Grasses in the Semi-arid Rangelands of Makueni District, Kenya
The problem of vegetation degradation in Kenya's semi-arid areas must be addressed, if these areas are to support the increasing human and livestock population. However, efforts to rcvcgctatc denuded rangelands will be beneficial only if the right species and cultural practices arc employed.
