Abstract:

The Map shows the overlay of the number of land cover changes with NDVI decrease and increase between 2001 and 2011 referring to NDVI trends. Three classes among the trends are built. Besides a “tolerance class” meaning NDVI trends between -0.005 and +0.005 the dataset was classified into “decreasing” (NDVI Trend <-0.005) and “increasing” (NDVI trend >0.005) vegetation trends. The overlay highlights the southern part of Kenya, especially the counties Narok and Kajiado where a stable land cover and decreasing trends overlap. Within this overlap are also Kitui and Isiolo – both counties that were also highlighted in the OLS-regression output as underpredicting –, parts of Marsabit and some small areas along the coastline. Also again the northwestern area, mainly Turkana Region but also West Pokot and Baringo are expressing increasing trends and seem to be linked to a more stable land cover. Quality/Lineage: Overlay of Number of Land Cover Changes with Productivity trends. It is indicated where positive and where negative productivity trends occurred. Raster data was reclassified and overlayed in ArcGIS. Purpose: Productivity Change and Number of Land Cover Changes in Kenya between 2001 and 2011
