Land Use and Land Cover Change: A Comprehensive Review of Environmental Implications
Abstract: Changes in land use and cover have a substantial impact on environmental dynamics and sustainability. These changes arise from various human activities, including urbanization, agriculture, and forestry, and have profound implications for biodiversity, ecosystem services, and land health. As urban areas expand, often at the expense of agricultural and forested landscapes, the transformation of land use alters ecological processes, leading to habitat loss and fragmentation. This article examines the implications …

Geospatial Assessment of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Debrigarh Wildlife Sanctuary, Odisha: A Twenty-Year Perspective
Abstract: Among the recorded dynamic processes on the surface of the earth is the change in land use and land cover (LULC) pattern as an outcome of several anthropogenic practices. Planning, development, and management of land for sustainable usage of land depend on plotting and tracing the vagaries in LULC. Anthropogenic activity, generally for forestry and food production, is altering the land surface. The steadily diminishing landscape also has tragic implications …
