Aims Humid savannas, as a result of high precipitation amounts, are highly productive. They are also hotspots for land use change and potential sources of carbon dioxide (CO 2) due to the large soil carbon (C) stocks. Understanding how ecosystem CO 2

Food shortage is a major problem in sub Saharan Africa as population increases. Over 89% of Kenyans are food poor and are malnourished especially in rural areas. NERICA (New Rice for Africa) are high yielding rainfed rice varieties with early maturit
