    This study evaluated the effects of holistic grazing management (HGM) on biomass production and soil properties under holistic and non-holistic grazing sites. The study was conducted in two Group Ranches namely, Koija and Il Motiok in Naibunga Conservancy, Laikipia County, Kenya. Vegetation attributes and soil parameters were determined in four plots randomly sited and established within the Il Motiok Ranch, which is under HGM, and in the same number of plots sited and established in Koija Ranch which is under free-range grazing system.

    study to characterize existing adaptive strategies and shifts in smallholder agro-pastoralists in relation to changes in land use and land subdivisions was carried out. A total of 48.9% of respondent indicated that there had been a shift in the adaptive strategies where unreliable rainfall, better access to land and water, acquisition of skills, shortage of pastures and proximity to wildlife habitats were the main factors influencing the shifts.

    Rangelands in semi-arid Kenya have recently witnessed extensive land use changes. These changes can mainly be attributed to increased livestock populations and the response of the increased human population to both local and exogenous opportunities and constraints. This study was carried out in Kibwezi district of Kenya mainly inhabited by agro-pastoralists. The main objective of this study was to establish how different land use types influence soil properties in tropical semi-arid rangelands.

    The impact of land use and cover change on soil quality and pasture production was investigated in the rangelands of Nakasongola District, Uganda. Landsat (TM) images of 1986 and 1990 and Landsat (ETM+) of 2000 and 2004 for Nakasongola District were used to determine the extent and patterns of land use and cover change using the Integrated Land and Water Information Systems (ILWIS) 3.6 software.

    Pastoralists traditionally relied on herd mobility to cope with drought. In the pastoral areas of Kajiado,
    Kenya this strategy is now threatened by increased individual land ownership as compared to
    communal access. Drought frequency as related to El-Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is
    predicated to increase with climate change. The aim of the study was investigate the use of herd
    mobility strategy in the ENSO related 1999/2000 la Nina induced drought under different land tenure

    Climate change impacts livelihoods adversely in dry-lands of Northern Kenya in terms of longer and harsher droughts, shorter and intense precipitation and floods. Climate change interlocks with peoples life-worlds differently for different reasons. Understanding the foregoing can inform and make policy more relevant. What are the Samburu peoples discernment of climate change and how have they confronted it? The paper examines the Samburu perspectives of climate change and the resulting coping, adaptation mechanisms and practice, and their prospects.

    The impact of land use and cover change on soil quality and pasture production was investigated
    in the rangelands of Nakasongola District, Uganda, Landsat (TM) images of 1986 and 1990 and
    Landsat (ETM+) of 2000 and 2004 for Nakasongola District were used to determine the extent
    and patterns of land use and cover change using the Integrated Land and Water Information
    Systems (ILWIS) 3.6 software. A modified-Whittaker sampling design was used to collect soil
    and pasture samples in three land cover types (bare, herbaceous and woody) under three

    A study on factors affecting honey production and indigenous knowledge of the Kibwezi Communities
    in honey production was conducted using formal and informal interviews by questionnaires between January and
    Sepicmber, 199). Honey plants were determined using pollen analysis, field observation and indigenous
    knowledge. Botanical composition of trees and shrubs in unsettled University of Nairobi site and adjacent settled
    area was determined and data ana lysed for density: frequency: diversity. similarity and dissimilarity indices.

    The adoption and adaptation of enclosures in the arid and semi-arid rangelands of sub-Saharan Africa is driven and
    sustained by a combination of factors. However, reviews indicate that these factors cannot be generalized, as they
    tend to be case specific. A study was therefore conducted to explore the history and reasons for enclosure establishment
    in Chepareria, a formerly degraded communal rangeland in north-western Kenya. While Vi-Agroforestry Organization
    accounting for 52.5 % was the main source of knowledge on enclosure establishment; it has now emerged

    The problem of vegetation degradation in Kenya's semi-arid areas must be addressed, if these areas are to support the increasing human and livestock population. However, efforts to rcvcgctatc denuded rangelands will be beneficial only if the right species and cultural practices arc employed.
