“…Canto et al (2011) also showed a non-lineal effect similar to that of Flores et al (2004) between a runoff area with the production of sediments, even though this non lineal effect could be modified by soil coverage and other soil and drainage area characteristics (Liu et al, 2012;Delmas et al, 2012;Descroix et al, 2008). With a precipitation of about 1019.3 mm, a substantial reduction was observed in the amount of runoff in accordance with the measurement scale, such as show in Figure 12.…”

“…Overgrazing and cattle movement were the main causes of gully erosion in mountainous areas (Descroix et al 2008). Models described here showed that dwarf shrub cover and grass cover were more effective than tree cover in preventing channel initiation, indicating that the type of vegetation is an important factor to erosion control.…”

“…Loss of vegetation cover and removal of leaf litter led to the formation of soil seals (Singer and Bissonnais 1998) and exposure of soil particles to the direct impact of raindrops (Mohammad and Mohammad 2010), both of which enhance runoff and soil erosion (Descroix et al 2001(Descroix et al , 2008Snyman and duPreez 2005;Al-Seikh 2006). Overgrazing and cattle movement were the main causes of gully erosion in mountainous areas (Descroix et al 2008).…”

“…Overgrazing can lead to soil compaction due to cattle trampling, resulting in increased surface runoff, soil erosion (e.g., Descroix et al 2008), and a negative effect on water quality. Illegal grazing in the forest has, in fact, been identified as a critical source of siltation by NCWSC and as an issue that needs to be addressed in a recent report on sustainable management of the Aberdare Conservation Area (Mungai et al 2011), parts of which are adjacent to the Sasumua watershed.…”
