Status of Opuntia invasions in the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya
(CAB Reviews, 2018-03)
Invasive alien species (IAS) are among the leading threats to biodiversity, food security and human well-being. Opuntia (prickly pear cactus) is one of the most widespread and naturalized in the arid and semi-arid areas ...
Ground water prospecting using Self Potential (SP) in Mungoni area of TharakaNithi, Kenya
(2018)
Self-potential method is based on the surface measurement of natural potential resulting from
electrochemical reactions in the subsurface. It does not require electric currents to be injected
into the ground as in the ...
