vegetation mapping

Vegetation mapping is the process of creating detailed maps that show different types of plant life in a specific area. This involves studying and documenting the various habitats, species, and ecological communities present in a landscape. Such maps help scientists, conservationists, and land managers understand ecosystems, track changes over time (like the impact of climate change), and make informed decisions for conservation and land use. By visually representing plant distribution and density, vegetation mapping plays a crucial role in biodiversity preservation and sustainable development.
