Land Use Land Cover Change

Land Use Land Cover Change (LULCC) refers to the transformation of natural landscapes into different uses, such as agriculture, urban development, or conservation. It involves two key aspects: "land use," which describes how people utilize land (like farming or housing), and "land cover," which refers to the physical material covering the land (like forests, grasslands, or water). LULCC can result from factors like population growth, economic development, and environmental policies, impacting ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate. Understanding these changes helps inform sustainable land management and environmental conservation strategies.
