Land use land cover change in Kashmir Himalaya: Linking remote sensing with an indicator based DPSIR approach

One of the most dominant forces responsible for changing the global landscape cover includes the changes in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC). These changes are initiated by a string of forces that are interconnected with each other. This study has been done to focus primarily on various LULC changes t...
