| Description: |
Land cover can influence weather, soil properties, and water chemistry. Different land cover types are all distinct in their effects on the flow of energy, water and various chemicals between the air and surface soil. Land cover maps are used to monitor endangered plants, animals and habitats, economic development, land use, fire fuel management, cropland management, wetland loss, effects of environmental change in ecosystems and other changes in land cover over time. Since land cover is a component of numerous systems, monitoring its characteristics will provide more information for understanding global ecological systems.
