CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Structure, composition, and species diversity of trees and shrubs on farms in Makueni and Kiambu County: A report on tree inventory in Kiambu and Makueni county

Exporter la citation

This report describes methods used during tree inventory on 36 and 26 farms in Kiambu and Makueni, respectively. It identifies the dominant locations where trees are situated on farms and describes species richness, species diversity, tree density, the proportion of fruit trees on farms, and the regeneration status of trees and shrubs on farms. The report also presents summaries of basic tree attributes measured in different land use types, including diameter at breast height (DBH) and collar diameter (CD) for individual trees. Findings from the study help to understand the composition, diversity, and distribution of tree species on farms in the study area, which is required for designing interventions needed for biodiversity conservation, food security, and programs that reward land users for maintaining trees in the landscape. The list of species and their sizes provide a sampling frame for the selection of trees for the development of allometric equations through destructive sampling.
