Abstract

Most vegetation’s are Land cover (LC) for the globe, and there is an increased attention to plants since they represent an element of balance to natural ecology and maintain the natural balance of rapid changes due to systematic and random human uses, including the subject of the current study (Bassia eriophora ) Which represent an essential part of the United Nations system for land cover classification (LCCS), developed by the World Food Organization (FAO) and the world Organization for environmental program (UNEP), to observe basic environmental elements with modern techniques. Although this plant is distributed all over Iraq, we found that this plant exists primarily in the middle and southern parts of Iraq in wet areas and near rivers or catchment area or water basins. The main idea is how to use this techniques to monitor the distribution of the plants (Bassia eriophora), in order to utilize and take provisions of plant growth and diffusion, Moreover, know and control the breadth of these areas in Iraq and prepare for them, and understanding climates and the variable plantation habitats and mapping patterns, may lead to a successful environmental protection and dominance plan. In this study, monitoring the distribution of Bassia eriophora in Iraq by apply remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques. The data was obtained from (BAG) National Herbarium of Iraq, Ministry of Agriculture. (BUNH) Iraq Natural History Research Centre and Museum, University of Baghdad the University Herbarium (BUH) in College of Science at University of Baghdad. This data contains only the address (place of germination), this information (addresses) was detected, identified and covered for all areas sampled by the techniques of satellite imagery and images taken from the air and some data records where the main features of these areas.

Highlights

  • The spatial data acquired at variable times help us analyses and manage grass and plant resource s for land cover changes the flora distribution, [1]

  • The planning plays an important role in Land cover to monitor and detect the changes, Remote Sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) allow spatial analysis with statistical methods approach related to conservation and sustainable management of ecosystems

  • The Microsoft Excel programming used for the grass laboratory samples with their coordinates (Latitude and Longitude) field recording, and that is imported into GIS application in order to manipulate and analyses the spatial distribution of the (Bassia eriophora) parameters selected in the area, see Table 1

Summary

Introduction

The spatial data acquired at variable times help us analyses and manage grass and plant resource s for land cover changes the flora distribution, [1]. GIS have sufficient power and assessment of data and Landcover analysis interpretation for spatial data mapping. Land Cover portray the physical features in term of natural environment of earth's surface such as (plants, grass, flora, soils type, and groundwater). The planning plays an important role in Land cover to monitor and detect the changes, Remote Sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) allow spatial analysis with statistical methods approach related to conservation and sustainable management of ecosystems. GIS helps in remote sensing database, monitoring and assessing the natural resources of both tempospatial scales. A key to elucidating the mechanisms through which biological diversity generates services to humans is the concept of ecosystem functions, [2]
