On Compound Distributions for Natural Disaster Modelling in Kenya
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2020 Kenyan communities are exposed to natural disasters by an amalgamation of factors such as poverty, aridity, and settlements in areas susceptible to natural disasters or in areas with poor infrastructure. This is expected to increase due to the effects of

Tropical forests structure and diversity: A comparison of methodological choices
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Large‐scale data compilation is increasing steadily in tropical forest research, but the lack of standardized methods for data collection limits drawing inference from large datasets and cross‐biome analyses.

Nitrogen addition has a minor effect on aridity thresholds for soil nematodes at the global scale
GeodermaSoil nematodes are regulated by soil moisture, with a global aridity threshold identified for total nematode diversity. Nitrogen (N) deposition also influences soil nematodes, but its effect on their aridity threshold remains unclear.

Topographic thresholds for plant colonization on semi‐arid eroded slopes
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2009 AbstractSoil erosion plays an important role in plant colonization of semi‐arid degraded areas. In this study, we aimed at deepening our knowledge of the mechanisms that control plant colonization on semi‐arid eroded slopes in east Spain by (i) determining topographic thresholds for plant colonization, (ii) identifying the soil properties limiting ...
