Forests play a
critical role in the provision of the ecological interconnectedness, and
essential ecosystem services. Deforestation is a serious
environmental problem throughout the world including Pakistan where a
striking depletion of forest reserves has been an ecological concern for quite
some time.
Remote sensing
techniques have been used to monitor land use and forest cover changes. The
present study aims at visualizing the potential impacts of climate change and
declining forest reserves on Margalla Hills National Park (MHNP).
ERDAS Imagine 9.1
and ArcGIS 10.2 softwares were employed for the spatial and temporal analysis
and visualization of over the past two decades.
