The daily net ecosystem CO2 exchange, diurnal pattern of net CO2 exchange and ecosystem respiration of Cenchrus ciliaris grassland in semi-arid region were studied during July 2008

Levels of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide have increased since pre-industrial times, mainly because of agricultural activities. Among these changes it has been reported that livestock grazing substantially increases nitrous oxide emissions from temperate grasslands.

Most emissions of nitrous oxide from semi-arid, temperate grasslands
usually occur during the spring thaw. The effects that grazing has on plant
litter and snow cover dramatically reduce these seasonal emissions.

Forty-seven patches of termite mounds were sampled in Kakamega forest grasslands with a view to assessing forest succession, forest species diversity, tree species-area relationships and species associations of forest and grassland tree species. These grasslands have been subjected to

One surviving stronghold of endangered Northern swamp deer is Jhadi taal (lake) in Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary on the floodplains of Sharda River. Changes in channel characteristics and land use/cover in a
