Assessing the magnitude of land use/cover changes and their effect on soil properties in the transboundary River Sio catchment (Uganda/Kenya border)
(2011-01)The multiplicity of land uses in affecting the quality of physical and chemical properties of soils and reducing natural vegetation cover is of a growing concern in Uganda today. Consequently, the study investigated the ... -
A characterisation of the physical properties of soil and the implications for landslide occurrence on the slopes of Mount Elgon, Eastern Uganda
(Springer, 2011-07-03)Soil properties of major landslides that occurred recently on the mid-altitude slopes of Mount Elgon, eastern Uganda were analysed. A mudflow, located at the Kitati protected forest site, and two deep debris flows on the ... -
Climate variability and effect of management practices on soil properties among banana farmers in Mbarara district, Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2023-07-07)Climate variability is a significant challenge facing perennial crop farmers in Mbarara district Uganda. East African Highland Bananas (Musa AAA-EAHB) are vulnerable because production systems are built on highly weathered ... -
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 ... -
The effect of soil and water conservation measures on selected soil properties in Nyamasoga landscape, Buliisa District
(MBABAZI EMILY SHANTAL, 2022-10-26)Soil erosion is a human induced type of land degradation and is among the foremost causes of loss of valuable soil nutrients, which in turn affects land/soil productivity. To limit this problem soil and water conservation ... -
Influence of selected soil properties on tree species diversity and above-ground biomass in Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda
(Makerere University, 2021-03-22)Tree species diversity and biomass are important indicators of the forest carbon storage capacity. The role of soil characteristics in shaping these two, however, has not been adequately studied in tropical forests of ...
