Abstract
The invasive coloniser Ipomoea hildebrandtii aggravates the problem of inadequate grass forage in Kajiado district, Kenya. To test its impact on grass biomass, nitrogen mineralisation and seeedling etstablishment, grazing and coloniser density were controlled using experimental exclosures and weeding treatments seperately in a factorial design etc.....
