| dc.description.abstract | This study is aimed at assessment of land degradation using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) a case of Luwero district. Accordingly, classes classified as intensively cultivated and degraded / barren lands were expanding in a real coverage at the expense of others. However, moderately cultivated, wood and grazing lands of the study area became reduced in size in the time span of 2001 to 2015. On the other hand, NDVI images analysis comparison also done to lock into the vegetation/ land cover degradation or change between 1995 and 2017 images, its result implies a decline in land cover taking the standard deviation variation into account. | en_US |
