LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

•Fruits, seeds, and bark of timur are used as
aromatic tonic in dyspepsia(indigestion/upset
stomach) and fever.
•Fruits and seeds are bene
fi
cial in dental troubles,
thus used to prepare dental paste and powder.
•Tender twigs are used to brush teeth and used as
a remedy for toothache.
•The essential oil from fruits (known as Wartara
oil) has deodorant and antiseptic properties.
21. Citrus medica (Bimiro):-
The fresh shoots, leaves, fruits and seeds of bimiro
have all entered into a number of traditional
medicinal preparations for the treatment of asthma,
arthritis, headache, stomach-ache, intestinal
parasites and other psychological disturbances.
22. Citrus maxima (bhogate):-
• Leaves are used in Cholera, epilepsy & Cough.
• Fruits are nutritive, cardiotonic & Refrigerant.
23. Glandular Trichomes:-
Many Rutaceae species have glandular
trichomes, which are tiny hair-like structures on
the surface of leaves, stems, and sometimes
fruits. These trichomes often contain essential
oil glands that give the plants their
characteristic aromas. These glands produce
various aromatic compounds and secondary
metabolites. Non-Glandular

Microscopic Features Of Citrus Plants
24. Oil Cells:-
Oil cells, also known as oil glands or oil ducts, are specialized structures found
within the leaves and other plant parts. They store and secrete essential oils
that contribute to the characteristic fragrance of Rutaceae plants. These oils
can have medicinal, aromatic, or
fl
avouring properties.

25. Leaf Anatomy:-
Microscopic examination of Rutaceae leaves reveals speci
fi
c anatomical features.
Some common features include the presence of resin canals, palisade and spongy
mesophyll layers, and specialised cells that contribute to the synthesis and storage
of essential oils.
26. Secretory Cells:-
Certain cells within Rutaceae plants are responsible for producing and storing
essential oils, which are often used for various purposes such as
fl
avouring,
perfumes, or traditional medicine. These secretory cells can be observed under a
microscope.
27. Macroscopic Features Of Citrus Family
Many Rutaceae plants have compound leaves, which
consist of multiple lea
fl
ets attached to a common leaf
stalk or petiole. The arrangement and shape of these
compound leaves can vary among di
ff
erent species
within the family.
Compound Leaves
28. Aromatic Foliage:-
One of the most distinctive macroscopic features of
Rutaceae is their aromatic foliage. When you crush
or rub the leaves of many Rutaceae plants, you can
often detect a strong and pleasant fragrance. This
fragrance is due to the presence of essential oil
glands within the leaves.
29. Branching Patterns:-
The overall growth habit and branching patterns of Rutaceae plants can vary widely.
Some species exhibit a shrubby growth form, while others may develop into small
trees. The arrangement of branches and their angles can provide useful diagnostic
traits for identifying di
ff
erent species.
30. In summary, Rutaceae plants display a fascinating
array of microscopic features, such as glandular
trichomes and oil cells, as well as distinctive
macroscopic features like compound leaves, aromatic
foliage, various fruit types(as discussed earlier in
morphological characters) and branching patterns.
These characteristics contribute to the diversity and
identi
fi
cation of plants within the Rutaceae family.
