| Abstract | ||
| This project examines the use of GIS and Remote Sensing in mapping vegetation Cover in Babil governorate between 1976 and 2010 so as to detect the changes that has taken place in this status between these periods .. The remotely sensed data used in this study were NDVI images created from ETM+ , TM , MSS sensors on board Landsat Satellites. The results produced from these NDVI images gave good indicators of vegetation degradation through the period 1986 – 1992 in the form of image maps. The final result was the image map gives an assessment for desertification, which gives good indication of areas descertified and those under risk of desertification. The remote sensing and geographic information system techniques were used to assessment and mapping of desertification over large areas of Babil governorate in the center of Iraq. | ||
