Aerobic mineralization and recovery of nitrogen as affected by soil organic matter status in three sites in Kenya
(The Soil Science Society of East Africa National Research Laboratories, 2005)Pressure on available land has increased due to high population density and other competing land-use demands which have led to reduced use of traditional fallows and subsequent decline in soil fertility. Aerobic Nmi ...
