Abstract

Findings reveal that the majority of studied areas are classified as bare lands, while the lowest amount is covered by lichens and mosses. Grassland and cropland occupy major areas of the region, with highest normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) value saw in 2020, showing dense vegetation in the western, northwestern and northern regions. Afforestation efforts shown positive results, with a 4% increase in forested area between 2000 and 2022.
