Herbaceous Wetlands

Satellite-derived Land Use / Land Cover computation of herbaceous wetlands in 2020. Geospatially derived herbaceous wetland refers to information about areas of land that are covered by herbaceous (non-woody) plants and are periodically inundated with water, such as marshes, swamps, and other wetland areas. 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 herbaceous wetlands. These datasets are often used by researchers, governments, and organizations to monitor and manage wetland resources, and to understand the impacts of changes in wetland cover on the environment and local communities.
