Ecological impacts of improper waste management frameworks on biodiversity conservation in Nairobi County, Kenya
Nairobi County is a world’s unique biodiversity hub with an attractive national park in the city detailing its beauty. For the last decade, urban migration has led to an increase in population, resultantly an increase in its waste generation depicted by the sporadic mushrooming of unplanned dumpsites. With expected double inhabitants by 2050, the urgent […]
Quantification of deadwood littered by Acacia spp. in semi-arid ecosystems of central Tanzania: The role of deadwood in biodiversity conservation
Deadwood (DW) is an important carbon component for conservation and management of biodiversity resources. They are ubiquitous in many semi-arid ecosystems although its estimation is still posing lots of challenges. At Chimwaga woodland in Dodoma Region of Central Tanzania, seasonal quantification of DW produced by two Acacia spp. was done to evaluate the influence of […]
