Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Millions of hectares of forest habitats around the world are converted into agricultural fields annually. In Uganda, forest habitats are lost at a rate of 7% per annum, at this rate, it is predicted that there will be no woody biomass outside forest reserves by 2025. This research assessed the impact of agricultural land use on the pattern and spread of altered forest habitats in Mabira forest reserve, Uganda. The study specifically described the nature of agricultural land uses and related habitat alteration as well as assessing the pattern and spread of altered habitats associated with specific agricultural practices in Buwoola enclave of Mabira forest reserve. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods, interviews, observation, line transects and questionnaires were the main instruments in data collection. The research concluded that agricultural land use was associated with habitat alternation that spread as boundary and linear processes whose pattern was manifested in hotspots of reduced forest integrity based on forest structure, light indicators species and human intrusion indicators. It was therefore recommended that further forest conservation requires environmental education, increased mapping and monitoring as well as restoration of degraded areas.
