The study analyzed changes in vegetation cover in the north of Fars province, Iran, from 2000 to 2017. Using satellite images and climate data, researchers found that vegetation increased slowly over time, with a positive trend before 2008 and a negative trend after. Vegetation cover was influenced by natural factors like climate and topography, as well as human activities like agriculture and grazing. Areas with higher altitudes and lower slopes showed decreased vegetation, while those facing north and east had more vegetation than southern slopes. Overall, the study suggests that temperature increased and rainfall decreased during the study period, with rainfall playing a more significant role in vegetation growth than temperature.
