Integrating remote sensing data and rapid appraisals for land-cover change analyses in Uganda
(John Wiley & Sons, 2005)
Rapid population growth, unsustainable land use, and a pervasively degrading landscape are components of a dominant paradigm regarding African development. While recent work articulating the 'misreading' of the African ...
LAND-USE AND COVER CHANGES (1988–2002) AROUND BUDONGO FOREST RESERVE, NW UGANDA: IMPLICATIONS FOR FOREST AND WOODLAND SUSTAINABILITY
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008-05)
Land-use and cover changes around Budongo Forest Reserve (BFR) were analysed from multi-temporal LandSat images (1988 and 2002) and associated field-based studies in 2003–2004. Three major land-use and cover classes: ...
Understanding the stability of forest reserve boundaries in the West Mengo region of Uganda
(Ecology and Society, 2006)
Despite heavy pressure and disturbance, state property regimes have stemmed deforestation within protected areas of the West Mengo region of Uganda for over 50 yr. In this manuscript, we reconstruct the process of creation ...
Satellite remotely sensed data: potential for mapping Uganda's savannas
(2009-06-10)
The sustainable use and management of Uganda's savannas poses a big challenge because of, inter-alia, the lack of accurate, cost-effective and up-to-date spatial information. In the present study, it was postulated that ...
