About

    Land cover research focuses on the physical and biological aspects of the Earth's surface, including vegetation, water bodies, urban areas, and other types of land use. The goal of land cover research is to understand and quantify how different land cover types are distributed across the landscape, how they change over time, and how they impact ecosystems, climate, and human activities. Remote sensing technologies, geographic information systems (GIS), and field surveys are commonly used in land cover research to map and analyze land cover patterns and changes. This research is important for a variety of applications, such as biodiversity conservation, land use planning, natural resource management, and climate change mitigation.
