Soil Degradation and Soil Formation

Key Research Questions

1. How grazing affects nutrient (C, N, P) cycling in degraded soils of KRB highlands. What are the impacts of livestock grazing on soil and water quality?
2. What are the processes controlling aggregation and carbon and nitrogen sequestration in soils?
3. How agricultural practices affect aggregation and carbon and nitrogen sequestration in soils? What are the factors and processes affecting soil (aggregate) formation and degradation?Rates of formation and degradation?
4. What is the areal extend of soil at threat to degradation?
