Is Cut-Flower Industry Promotion by the Government Negatively Affecting Pollinator Biodiversity and Environmental/Human Health in Uganda?
Table 3
General linear model (GLM) for exploring the effects of the flower farm type (location), the intensity of agrochemical (fertilizers/pesticides) applications per flower farm, landscape vegetation types, and the distance at which the sampling transect was set (spatial scale) in explaining the patterns of variability in bee biodiversity inhabiting habitats surrounding major flower farms found in central Uganda.
