Field moisture balance in the Shimba Hills, Kenya. [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This article draws on limited observations and field measurements to reconstruct and compare the moisture balance of the grass-covered and depleted Shimba Hills of Kenya with that under a natural forest. The natural forest, which once occupied the Shimba Hills, is a more desirable cover than grass for maximum-sustained water yield because water additions from mist and dew are greater from the forest.
