Susceptibility of soil organic matter fractions to soil erosion under potato-legume intercropping systems in central Kenya

Soil organic matter (SOM) losses due to soil erosion may be considered low in continuous potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cropping systems, but cumulated over time may cause considerable soil degradation. A field study was conducted in Kabete, Kenya, during the 2014 to 2015 rainy seasons to determine the effect of sediment particle size distribution on SOM losses and to assess the SOM fractions most susceptible to soil erosion under...
