Effect of piospheres on physio-chemical soil properties in the Southern Rangelands of Kenya
Abstract
Water-based interventions haphazardly introduced in the drylands of Kenya have led to the
introduction of piospheres used as concentration mounts. Not much is known about the effect of these piospheres on
soil physio-chemical properties, especially in the Kenyan rangelands where the government and other development
agencies have created piospheres aimed at curbing water shortages and sustaining livestock production. The study
assessed the effect of piospheres on soil physio-chemical characteristics in the southern rangelands of Kajiado, Kenya,
in order to provide evidence-based insights that will be useful in guiding future water interventions.
