2. Effects of land use on soil microbial community function in western Kenya highlands
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : Land degradation, agricultural intensification and deforestation may result in a loss of soil microbial community function, detrimental to resilience and to sustained productivity. In order to assess the effects of land use on microbial community function in a tropical soil the following hypotheses were considered: (1) functional capacity measured as substrate-utilization potential decreases with intensification of land use and (2) tree planting - i.
