Vegetation cover

Vegetation cover refers to the amount of land area covered by plants, such as grass, trees, shrubs, or crops. It indicates how much of the ground's surface is occupied by living plant life. This measure helps assess ecosystem health, land use, and environmental conditions. Dense vegetation cover can prevent soil erosion, support biodiversity, and influence climate patterns. Conversely, areas with sparse or no vegetation may be more vulnerable to erosion, desertification, and climate change effects. Overall, vegetation cover is a key indicator of how well an environment is supporting plant life and maintaining ecological balance.
