Soil Heterogeneity and Soil Fertility Gradients in Smallholder Agricultural Systems of the East African Highlands
Heterogeneity in soil fertility in these smallholder systems is caused by both inherent soil-landscape and human-induced variability across farms differing in resources and practices. Interventions to address the problem of poor soil fertility in Africa must be designed to target such diversity and...
