Abstract
Abstract Assessment of the distribution and dynamics of vegetation is becoming increasingly important in predicting the effects of climate change especially in the ASALs. It is therefore important to determine the effects of climate change on the crop type and land cover of the semi-arid regions hence the current study was carried out to assess the changes in crop type and land cover between 1986–2000 and 2000–2012 in Yatta District, Kenya. The LANDSAT TM, ETM and ETM+ satellite images of the years 1986, 2000 and 2012 in Yatta
