Larviciding potency of water and ethanol extracts of Phytolacca dodecandra (L’ Herit) on Anopheles gambiae (Diptera: Culicidae)
(BioPublishe, 2015)
Introduction: Plant extracts are an attractive target for search of effective malaria vector control agents. The reason for this is that they present a cost effective, target specific and bio-degradable insecticides. The ...
Morphological, genetic and symbiotic characterization of root nodule bacteria isolated from Bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterraneaL. Verdc) from soils of Lake Victoria basin, western Kenya.
(Journal of Applied Biology and Biotechnology, 2015)
Low soil nitrogen (N) is a major constraint for sustainable crop production in smallholder farming systems in Africa. Grain legumes such as bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterraneaL. Verdc). can form N fixing symbiotic ...
Water use by a warm-temperate deciduous forest under the influence of the Asian monsoon: contributions of the overstory and understory to forest water use
(Elsevier, 2013)
The warm temperate deciduous forests in Asia have a relatively dense understory, hence, it is imperative that we understand the dynamics of transpiration in both the overstory (E O) and understory (E U) of forest stands ...

Changes in forest soil properties in different successional stages in lower tropical China
(Plosone.org, 2013)
Background: Natural forest succession often affects soil physical and chemical properties. Selected physical and chemical soil properties were studied in an old-growth forest across a forest successional series in Dinghushan ...
Morphometric study of Senna didymobotrya (Fresen.) H. S. Irwin and Barneby in Kenya
(Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2017)
Herbal medicine has been used for many years and it remains widespread in developing countries while the use of complementary alternative medicine is increasing rapidly in developed countries. Senna didymobotrya is important ...
Functional convergence in water use of trees from different geographical regions: a meta-analysis
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2013-06)
Functional convergence in water use of trees across species from diverse geographic locations was examined using data on tree water use parameters, with the intention of gaining an understanding on the capacity for water ...
Seed dispersal by Tana River mangabeys in fragmented gallery forests
(SciRes., 2012)
Data collected on a free ranging group of Tana River mangabeys (Cercocebus galeritus) indicates that this endangered primate species, which has previously been regarded as a seed predator, plays an important role in seed ...
Effects of nitrogen deposition on soil organic carbon fractions in the subtropical forest ecosystems of S China
(2012)
Experiments were conducted between 2003 and 2008 to examine how N additions influence soil organic C (SOC) and its fractions in forests at different succession stages in the subtropical China. The succession stages included ...
Higher assimilation than respiration sensitivity to drought for a desert ecosystem in Central Asia
(Elsevier, 2017)
Responses of ecosystem assimilation and respiration to global climate change vary considerably among terrestrial ecosystems constrained by both biotic and abiotic factors. In this study, net CO2 exchange between ecosystem ...
