Ecological Land Classification

Ecological Land Classification (ELC) is a method used to categorize and map different areas of land based on their natural characteristics and environmental features. It considers factors like soil type, vegetation, topography, and climate to identify distinct ecological zones. This helps scientists and land managers understand the diversity of ecosystems, plan conservation efforts, and make informed land use decisions. Essentially, ELC creates a detailed overview of how land and ecosystems are distributed, allowing for better preservation, management, and sustainable development of natural resources.
