Assessing the impact of land use change on carbon stocks and implications for adaptation to climate variability on the slopes of Mount Elgon, Eastern Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2014)
Changes in land use have been noted to affect the amount of carbon held in vegetation and soil, with implications on climate change. This study therefore aimed at improving our understanding of the impact of land use change ...
Above-ground biomass and carbon stocks of different land cover types in Mt. Elgon, Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2014)
This research applied selected allometric models to estimate the Total Above Ground Biomass and Carbon stocks in three land cover types in Mt. Elgon National Park. The land cover types identified for the study included ...
Dynamics of forest cover conversion in and around Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and impacts on carbon stocks and soil properties
(Makerere University, 2010-07)
This study quantified the extent forest cover changed in and around Bwindi impenetrable forest (0˚53΄–1˚08΄N; 29˚35΄–29˚50΄E) and identified drivers of change from 1973 to 2010, and determined the effect of forest cover ...

(Makerere University, 2014)
This research applied selected allometric models to estimate the Total Above Ground Biomass and Carbon stocks in three land cover types in Mt. Elgon National Park. The land cover types identified for the study included the ...
Assessing the effects of land use/ cover change on the carbon stocks in Kaliro District, Eastern Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-02)
In Kaliro District, anecdotal evidence suggests that land use/ cover has been changing very fast with implications on woody biomass. It is also believed that Kaliro District has suffered major deforestation and degradation ...
Effect of Land Use Land Cover Changes on Carbon Stocks of Rwenzori Mountains National Park, Western Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2024-01-02)
Sustainable management of natural resources in Rwenzori mountainous areas requires an
understanding of the current carbon stocks available and the nature of human-ecosystem
interactions and local communities‘ perspectives ...
