Barren and Sparse Vegetation

Satellite-derived Land Use / Land Cover computation of barren and sparse vegetation land in 2020. Geospatially derived barren and sparse vegetation land cover refers to information about areas of land that have very little vegetation, such as deserts, rocky outcrops, or other areas where vegetation is scarce. This information is obtained using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, which allows for the creation of detailed maps and spatial datasets that can provide information about the location, extent, and characteristics of these types of land cover. These datasets are often used by researchers, governments, and organizations to monitor and manage land use and resources, and to understand the impacts of changes in land cover on the environment and local communities.
