Editor's Notes
- Points: explain NDVI; high variability; cyclical nature (ENSO); point out events.
- Zermou much drier than Fakara; can also see droughts.IMPLICATIONS: high heterogeneity; soils also make difference
- Points: Kajiado dynamicsLaikpia dynamics and reasons for possible difference
- Mobility and markets, but host of other factors mediate.Also changing herd composition
- Points: IPCC, GCM downscaling; three impacts: temperature, change in precip, more CO2.
- Herd dynamics models: droughts every 5 years fine; every 3 drives density lower;Livelihoods: ?? Croppers to livestock keepers?How restricted are pastoral options?
