“…The standard error bar is at ±5% value Hydrobiologia (2012) 680: 135-148 143 that in order to reverse the effect of harvesting, C. papyrus culm should be left without harvesting for at least 2 years to regain its natural growth dynamics. The recovery information allows us to draw parallels between the estimated 4-7 months recovery period reported by papyrus users in Loboi swamp in our recent socio-economic study (Terer, 2011;Terer et al, 2012) and the current study in Lake Naivasha. Loboi papyrus users referred to re-growth but not necessarily recovery, thus the study would benefit them and others utilizing C. papyrus in Africa.…”

“…Riparian communities use C. papyrus for basic human needs such as food, shelter, health, subsistence economic gains, transport and energy (Gichuki et al, 2001;Simpson & Inglis, 2001;Terer, 2011;Terer et al, 2012). We recommend a 12-month harvesting regime especially in papyrus swamps where harvesting is a daily routine.…”

“…The fact that it has many uses could explain its high frequency of mention. This species has been documented in other swamps around the country as being useful for making mats, baskets, and furniture (Abila et al 2005, Terer et al 2012. Its use for craft production has also been reported around the wetlands in Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa (Kotze & Traynor 2011).…”
