Patterns of land use cover change and vegetation productivity in Amuda Catchment Area, Zombo District
(Makerere University, 2022-02)
Land use land cover change (LULCC) is increasingly becoming a problem in many developing countries whose human population is rapidly growing. LULCC in water catchment areas results into decrease in the swampy area, ...
Assessment of land use land cover change and water physical parameters in River Rwizi Cachment, Mbarara District
(Makerere University, 2022-03-16)
The Rwizi river catchment is a high value landscape covering 10 districts of western Uganda. The catchment has faced large scale human induced land use and land cover changes, which has led to loss of vegetation cover and ...
Assessment of land use change impacts on wetland hydrology and vegetation health using NDWI and NDVI respectively. A case study of Tochi Wetland, Oyam District.
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
Wetlands are essential for the natural functioning of an ecosystem, by regulating floods and outstandingly being a source of water supply. However, land use changes are the main forces behind wetland deterioration worldwide. ...
Assessment of land cover changes and attitudes of surrounding communities towards use of restrictive conservation approach on a sub-catchment of River Nabakazi in Mubende district
(Makerere University, 2022-03)
The degradation of wetlands around the globe has led to development of various approaches at local, national, regional and global scales to halt it. Although people`s attitudes towards these various approaches are a great ...
Effect of different land use types on nutrient distribution across soil depth in the Busega wetland
(Makerere University, 2022-04-27)
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different land use types on nutrient distribution across soil depth in Busega wetland. The sites where this study was conducted had been under annual and perennial cropping ...
Effect of land use/cover change on sediment load of the Mpanga river sub-catchment
(Makerere University, 2022)
Like other countries in the sub-Saharan Africa, Uganda is not an exception to the effects of
land use/cover changes on the environment. Specifically, the study intended to determine the
effects of land use/cover changes ...
Assessing the impacts of land-use changes on water balance of river Aswa catchment in Northern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2022-10)
Land use and land cover (LULC) change is one of the key driving elements responsible for altering the hydrology of a watershed. The stream flow has been highly fluctuating with prolonged hydrological drought. However little ...
Analysing the implications of landuse and land cover changes on landslide occurrence in Bukalasi sub- county, Bududa district.
(Makerere University, 2022-11)
Biodiversity loss and land degradation is a major global issue with over 25% of the global land area degraded and more than 2 billion hectares already affected. This is attributed to the continued land use land cover changes ...
Implications of land use and cover changes on wetland ecosystem in Mahyoro sub county
(Makerere University, 2022-11-25)
Wetlands are among the eco-systems suffering greatest transformations worldwide. More than half of the wetlands globally have been lost and degraded beyond restoration measures. Studies focusing on land use land cover ...

(Makerere University, 2022-04-27)
The study aimed at assessing the nutrient status in selected land use types in Ugandan highland
ecosystems. There is limited knowledge and understanding on soil nutrient status in different
landuses and this has resulted ...
