The effects of climate on decomposition of cattle, sheep and goat manure in Kenyan tropical pastures
Decomposition of manure deposited onto pasture from grazing animals represents an important process for carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in grassland systems. However, studies investigating manure decomposition are scarce; especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).In this study, we measured decomposi...
