Description
Summary:The general objective of the research is to better understand changes in land cover and their impact on climatic factors by measuring changes in land cover for the Baghdad city for the period 1999-2021 and evaluating changes in land cover and measuring changes in climatic factors (relative humidity and evaporation). This study from 1999 to 2021 and in two different seasons: the April of the growing season and August the dry season. When using the supervised classification method to determine the differences, the results showed remarkable changes, the study showed the spatial variations in LC from 1999 to 2021 as follows: increase in the vegetation and water bodies during April and decrease this in August while the soil and built up decrease in April and increase this in August. As for the influence of climatic factors, an increase in relative humidity during 1999 and 2021 for April, while it decreased during the years 1999 and 2021 for August. While evaporation decreases during 1999 and 2021 for April and increases during 1999 and 2021 for August.
