SMARTGRAZE

2 MSC CALL FOR APPLICATION -ASSESSING SOIL ORGANIC CARBON STOCKS AND FLUXES UNDER HOLISTIC PLANNED AND TRADITIONAL GRAZING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN RANGELANDS OF KENYA (SMARTGRAZE)

SMARTGRAZE is funded through the RUFORUM GRA Graduate Research Grants. The project seeks to investigate the impacts of holistic planned grazing (HPG) on carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrious oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions, soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil properties, biomass production, diversity and nutritional quality, and livestock forage preferences in a semi-arid rangeland of Kajiado County, Kenya. Data will be collected from plots under HPG system and traditional grazing during the wet and dry seasons.
