Genetic diversity, breed composition and admixture of Kenyan domestic pigs by Mujibi, F.D.N., Okoth, Edward A., Cheruiyot, E.K., Onzere, Cynthia K., Bishop, Richard P., Fèvre, Eric M., Thomas, Lian F., Masembe, C., Plastow, G., Rothschild, Max F.

“…We evaluated two domestic pig populations in Western Kenya, in order to characterize the genetic diversity, breed composition and admixture of the pigs in an area known to be endemic for African swine fever (ASF). One of the reasons for characterizing these specific populations is the fact that a proportion of indigenous pigs have tested ASF virus (ASFv) positive but do not present with clinical symptoms of disease indicating some form of tolerance to infection. …”

Model-Based Assessment of Grazing Impact on Soil Organic Carbon Stocks and Dynamics of a Kenyan Rangeland by Kuntu-Blankson, Kate

“…We observed small reductions in SOC stocks from the baseline scenario with a more negative impact of RCP4.5 than RCP8.5 but the observed differences were not dramatically different. The possible reasons for higher SOC stocks under RCP8.5 could be attributed to higher primary productivity of the C4 grassland under elevated CO2 and also more production of lignified plant materials that are less decomposable. …”

El proceso de apropiación y concentración de la tierra rural en el departamento Presidencia de la Plaza (Chaco) = The process of appropriation and concentration of rural land in th... by Martinez, Gerardo Roberto

“…La explicación obedece a que productores que estaban endeudados y que para resolver esa situación necesitaban vender su tierra, a los agentes extra-regionales se les complicaba la adquisición porque alrededor del predio que se ofrecía a la venta tenían productores que no querían vender; la distribución parcelaria impidió el ingreso extra-regional, pero el modo de producción y la estructura del sector se modificaron sustancialmente en comparación con la correspondiente a la etapa algodonera; los que no le pudieron vender a los agronegocios les vendieron a sus vecinos, produciendo en cierta medida un proceso de concentración de la tierra que confirma el efecto Mateo en este sector.…”
