Shrubland

Satellite-derived Land Use / Land Cover computation of shrubland in 2020. Geospatially derived shrubland cover refers to information about areas of land that are covered by shrubs, such as scrublands, chaparral, and other areas with a dense growth of woody plants that are shorter than trees. 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 shrubland cover. These datasets are often used by researchers, governments, and organizations to monitor and manage land resources, and to understand the impacts of changes in shrubland cover on the environment and local communities.
