Distribution of applied cadmium in different size fractions of soils after incubation
(2006)
The size fraction of soils is one of the important
factors that influence the retention of heavy metals. The
sorptive properties of soils for heavy metals are principally
associated with clay and silt-size fractions. ...
Linkages between the Indian Ocean Dipole and East African Seasonal Rainfall Anomalies
(University of Nairobi, Department of Meteorology, 2008)
This study was designed to understand the nature of the relationship
