Land Use/Cover Change Analysis Using Remote Sensing Data:A Case Study, Zhengzhou Area, Henan Province, China

In the last two decades, arid and semi-arid regions of China suffered rapid changes in the Land Use/Cover Change (LUCC) due to increasing demand on food, resulting from growing population. In the process of this study, we established the land use/cover classification in addition to remote sensing ch...
