Soil fertility enhancement through conservation agriculture with trees (CAWT) in the arid and semi-arid lands of Eastern Kenya

Arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) are prone to relatively high vegetation and general environmental degradation including soils. Conservation agriculture with trees presents an opportunity to reduce such degradation and enhance soil characteristics-therefore redressing dryland challenges of low productivity- despite its low adoption. The study assessed the soil physical and chemical properties differences for...
