Influence Of Light And Temperature On Photosynthesis And Transpiration In Some C3 And C4 Vegetable Plants From Kenya
Imbamba, SK; Tieszen, Larry L (University of Nairobi, 1977-04)Potted vegetable plants of Amaranthus lividus, Gynandropsis gynandra and Crotalaria brevidens were grown outside under normal tropical conditions and rate of photosynthesis and transpiration were determined simultaneously ... -

Photosynthetic Systems, Carbon Isotope Discrimination And Herbivore Selectivity In Kenya
Tieszen, LL; Imbamba, SK (University of Nairobi, 1980-10)The flora of the lowlands of East Africa possesses both C3 and C4 plants with nearly all grasses being C4. These photosynthetic systems discriminate differently against 13C. We have utilized the ‘label’ provided by the ... -
Primary Productivity Of Natural Grass Ecosystems Of The Tropics: A Reappraisal
Long, SP; Moya, E Garcia; Imbamba, SK; Kamnalrut, A; Piedade, MTF; Scurlock, JMO; Shen, YK; Hall, DO (University of Nairobi, 1989-04)Studies of net primary production in four contrasting tropical grasslands show that when full account is taken of losses of plant organs above- and below-ground these ecosystems are far more productive than earlier suggested. ... -

Akunda, EMW; Imbamba, SK (1980) -
Response of Cowpeas to Salinity and (2-Chloroethyl) trimethyl-ammonium Chloride (CCC)
Imbamba, SK (University of Nairobi, 1973-04)Recent investigations have demonstrated that the growth retardant, (2-chloroethyl) trimethyl-ammonium chloride (CCC) inhibits several aspects of vegetative growth. In solution culture experiments, reduction in plant growth ... -
Seasonal Changes In The Nutrient Content Of East African Grassland Vegetation
Boutton, Thomas W; Tieszen, Larry L; Imbamba, SK (University of Nairobi, 1988-06)Significant seasonal changes in the concentrations of N, P, K, and Ca were observed in the herb layer vegetation at Nairobi National Park and Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. These changes were related to the alternation ...
