The preliminary results of an assessment of land use effect on soil erosion and surface runoff in a severely degraded watershed in Kenya are presented here. Soil erosion and surface runoff was higher in the non-forested lands (deforested, agriculture and grazing lands) than in the forested (indigenous and exotic) lands.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
