  1. 1. Drivers of topsoil saturated hydraulic conductivity in three contrasting landscapes in Kenya

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :David Falk; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Infiltrability; mixed effects model; Kenya; land degradation; restoration; trees;

    Sammanfattning : Markförsämring i tropiska regioner kan ha förödande konsekvenser för vattentillgänglighet. Vattenkvalité och kvantitet är oerhört viktiga för lokalbefolkningar och är grundförutsättningar för socioekonomisk utveckling då stora delar av befolkningen i många tropiska länder är direkt beroende av jordbruk och boskapshållning för sin inkomst.

  3. 2. Soil organic carbon and infiltrability in relation to distance from trees (Vitellaria paradoxa) with and without termite mounds in a parkland of central Burkina Faso

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Klara Hedemyr Joelsson; [2012]
    Nyckelord :Burkina Faso; parkland; agroforestry; trees ; Vitellaria paradoxa; termites; steady-state infiltrability; double-ring infiltrometer; bulk density; carbon content; macro-porosity;

    Sammanfattning : In semi-arid Burkina Faso access to water is crucial for crop-growth. Most common cropping system in the region is parklands, where crops are grown in association with trees. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Water infiltration in the Nyando River basin, Kenya

    Magister-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Aida Bargues Tobella; [2009]
    Nyckelord :Lake Victoria basin; Nyando River basin; steady-state infiltrability; bulk density; erosion; gully; runoff; sediment generation rate; double-ring infiltrometer; rainfall simulator; trees; vegetation cover; agroforestry;

    Sammanfattning : On-site and off-site effects of erosion in the Lake Victoria basin are some of the main contributors to the actual situation of poverty which is facing its population, one of the densest in the world. The Nyando River Basin (Western-Kenya) was identified as a regional erosion hotspot and one of the main sources of sediment and phosphorous into the Lake Victoria (ICRAF, 2001). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Water infiltration under different land use in miombo woodlands outside Morogoro, Tanzania

    L3-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Helena Nord; [2008]
    Nyckelord :miombo; land use; management; infiltration capacity; steady state infiltrability; bulk density; soil organic carbon; agriculture; Albizia; double-ring infiltrometer; wet combustion;

    Sammanfattning : Infiltration capacity is a measure of how much water that can enter the soil and hence become available to plant roots and micro organisms. A high infiltration capacity also means that less water is available for runoff and subsequent erosion. LÄS MER
