    Public urban green spaces are useful natural assets that are globally mainstreamed into practice as one of the nature-based solutions to counter the urban areas challenges such as climate change. Using Michuki Memorial Park as a case study, the study sought to assess dynamics of urban land space contestation and their implications on utilization of public green spaces.

    Determining an appropriate allocation of land between alternative competing uses is a fun-damental problem that continues to be a challenge in many developing countries. Amboseli Ecosystem, one of Kenya’s rangelands has been experiencing changes in its economic activi-ties. Traditionally pastoralism and wildlife conservation has been the key source of livelihood for people in the ecosystem. Crop production is a more recent economic activity being inte-grated in the ecosystem. These changes are attributable to the macro and micro economic, social and demographic factors.

    Change in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) is inevitable and accuracy and time are important
    to detect the change in different seasons to monitor trends and status of water quality.
    Understanding LULC and Water Quality Parameters (WQP) is necessary for efficient water
    management and reduction of operation water treatment cost. Therefore, the effect of
    agricultural land uses on water quality in Ndakaini, Gatanga, Muranga County, the LULC and
    WQP were analyzed using Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and

    The area northwest of Mt Kenya is undergoing rapid land use changes caused by a population influx. Rapid population growth and subsequent pressure on land raise the problem of how to increase and sustain agricultural production while at the same time conserving the natural resources (montane forest with Olea africana and Juniperus procera as main species at 2900 m asl.). Deterioration in soil physical and chemical properties following deforestation for agriculture can adversely affect crop production, especially from soils on mountain slopes.

    An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitab
    ility of three promiscuous soybean varieties
    (SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Mai
    ze (Duma 43). A randomised complete
    block design was used replicated three times with seven
    treatments. The arrangement of
    intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germina
    tion %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,
    days to 75% maturity, yield biomass per plant, 100 g
    rain weight, grain yield, harvest index and Land

    An study was carried out in Kenya to assess the suitability of three promiscuous soybean varieties
    (SB19, GAZELLE and TGX1990-5F) intercropped with Maize (Duma 43). A randomised complete
    block design was used replicated three times with seven treatments. The arrangement of
    intercropping was 1:1. Data collection included germination %, plant height, days to 50% flowering,

    The study was undertaken to investigate how land use and soil fertility management practices affect the occurrence of nematode destroying fungi. The aim of the study was to harness the potential of these fungi to control the plant parasitic nematodes in the study area which is a very important vegetable catchment in the Coast Province of Kenya

    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.

    Soil physical and hydrological properties of kabete soils were
    evaluated at three different land use sites namely forest,
    grass la n d , and cropland sites. The purpose of this work was to
    determine the effect of selected land uses on phy si caI and
    hydrological characteristics of the kabete soils in Kenya.
    Soil samples for this study were collected from the College of
    Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences (CAVS), field station. Soil
    samples for the determination of bulk density, organic matter
