31. Decadal Analysis of Land Use Change in Jordan Quantification of Land Use and Land Cover Dynamics in Jordan over the last 3 decades. Study area covering CRP DS Action Site in Jordan and its associated Governorates. Study will help us understand dynamics of ever changing landscape, land degradation, agricultural productivity, climate change as well as interventions of various projects and its impact. Derived from Landsat Pathfinder Satellite Remote Sensing Images from 1900s to 2014 ICARDA GU©2014 Its impact on Livelihoods and Ecosystem Services
