The extremely low productivity in these rain-fed upland environments is caused by a myriad of bio-physical and socio-economic constraints (e.g. Balasubramanian et al., 2007).
Our simulation experiments show that when fruit removal rate is extremely low, population persistence is enhanced under relatively constant rain conditions, while alternating rain phases of the cyclic scenarios lead to a significant population decrease.
The method largely underestimates the measured values at low rain rates, while overestimating them at extremely high rain rates.
Rain water harvesting and storage capacity remains extremely low in Kenya even though the country is water-stressed with per capita availability of 647 m3, which is less than the UN-recommended 1000 m per capita (Republic of Kenya 2010).
Her works, which often have religious titles, are stark and often deal in extremes: extremely loud, extremely soft, extremely high and extremely low.
With hotter temperatures as well as less rain and humidity in the region, water levels in rivers are extremely low.
Complex mechanisms including rain-wind excitation and possibly cable deck interaction have been responsible, but the extremely low level of damping of bridge cables has been an important contributory factor.
Bonuses were extremely low.
The risks remain extremely low.
