Factors influencing succession of Kakamega forest grasslands [1]

Additional image:: 

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
burning and grazing by people for a long period of time. The objective was to assess forest succession of grasslands by determining regeneration strategies of both forest and grassland tree species, and the role of termite mound patches in this process.
