Climate change and its effect on water and vegetation cover over shary region using GIS techniques

The Application of Geospatial Technologies in the Study of Vegetation Cover, Assessment and Comparison of Plant Diversity in the Al-Jadriyah Complex “University of Baghdad and Al-Nahrain”

“…Biological diversity has received a general appreciation at the species level, but it needs to be assessed and preserved at all levels of environmental organization and spatial and temporal scales, and many Asian and African countries lack databases, so ecosystem monitoring systems and geospatial techniques provide valuable data to describe the natural landscape and its structure [12]and [13] . Previous studies have demonstrated the efficiency of the use of modern technology and the adoption of geospatial techniques represented by remote sensing technology and geographic information systems as a tool in the management of green spaces, as they allow collecting a lot of data easily and quickly, as well as spatially analyzing and interpreting them in a way that enhances the role of these spaces in urban cities [14]and [15] GIS technology has gained great importance as a tool in preserving and managing green spaces all over the world, as the study of such spaces requires comprehensive knowledge of their plant species, distribution pattern, and uses [16]and [17. Also, monitoring plant species and predicting their spread using modern technologies provides an opportunity to assist in good planning for the distribution of vegetation cover in the future [18]and [19] indicated that the use of imported plants is one of the reasons for biodiversity loss and ecosystem change.

Employing Remote Sensing Technologies and Geographic Information in the Hydrological Analysis of the Hilla River Valley in Babylon Governorate

“…[16]) classified land uses into five different classifications to determine the best rainwater harvesting system using techniques Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems. [17] identified and monitored the changes that occurred on the land cover for different periods of time and produced maps of Water Bodies and Vegetation Cover using techniques Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems.…”

Assessment of Sustainable Urban Expansion with Land Use and Land Cover Changes for Al-Hillah City Using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques

“…Land use is the term used to describe the objectives of a land survey, encompassing tourism, animal habitat protection, agriculture, urban development, and the majority of areas where humans have an effect. Whether it is vegetation, water, bare soil, urban development, or anything else, land cover refers to the surface cover [1,2]. As a result of changes in the earth's surface and urbanization (land cover), this study relied on the criteria of the thematic strata factor for land use, land cover types, built-up areas, and green spaces [3,4].…”
