Asset-based adaptation project promotes tree and shrub diversity and above-ground carbon stocks in smallholder systems in western Kenya

Our study aimed to determine the tree/shrub diversity and carbon stocks in different agroforestry systems within smallholder farms in two 100 km2 sites in the Nyando river basin, in western Kenya. Context-specific agroforestry adoption had been promoted among households of four community associations through an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach. Their farms were assessed and compared with those of relevant comparison samples.
