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.

GLOSIS: Progress and plans
1. The Global Soil Information System (GLOSIS):
progress and plans
Rik van den Bosch, Director ISRIC -World Soil Information
GSP Plenary Assembly, 7 June 2019
2. Main tasks:
Establishment of an enduring and authoritative global system to monitor
forecast the condition of the Earth’s soil resources.
• To inform Status of the World Soil Resources Report
• To inform country reporting to UN bodies
• To support development of thematic map products
• To facilitate national decision making
• Capacity building through joint development
The Pillar 4 Implementation Plan
3. GLOSIS products
GloSIS:
• Soil profile databases (Tier 1,Tier 2)
• Global polygon coverage, as replacement of FAO/UNESCO SMotW, 1:5M
• Global Grids:
• Harmonized World Soil Database, version 2
• Fine-resolution grid of soil properties, version 0 (collation of grids, 1km)
• Fine resolution grid of soil properties, version 1 (harmonized, <1km)
Guidelines and capacity development for implementation.
SoilSTAT:
• Foreseen system for monitoring, forecasting and status reporting of the soil resource.
• Addition to the FAOSTAT family of reporting systems.
4. • Infrastructure bringing together soil information collected by (national)
institutions in a de-centralized way.
• GLOSIS is to be a federation of soil information systems.
• Source institutions retain their data and control access; data sharing
according to data policy of data providers.
• Implementation that is lightweight, easy to deploy, based on open source
• Should empower data providers to develop and maintain their own soil
information system.
• Soil data needs to be easily findable, accessible, and available in formats
that can be readily used for a wide range of purposes.
Key concepts
9. GLOSIS Implementation
Implementation period: 2017 – 2020.
Coordinated by GSP Secretariat (FAO) and GSP Soil Data Facility (ISRIC –
World Soil Information), with contributions from Pillar 4Working Group, Pillar
5, soil information experts.
General timeline GloSIS:
• 2017: SDF appointed, general work plan presented during INSII 3 for implementing
GloSIS.
• 2018: development technical specifications of GLOSIS and its data products
• 2019: implementation and testing
• 2020: population and capacity building
10. Progress 2018-2019
• Developing technical specification documents (finalizing):
• GLOSIS design (approved by INSII, Nov 2018)
• Tier 1 andTier 2 soil profile databases (approved by INSII, Nov 2018)
• Implementation (ongoing):
• GLOSIS data exchange/interoperability: developing a web service from a
(dummy) soil database based on state-of-the-art standards (WFS 3.0, linked
data) from the Open Geospatial Consortium.
• Developing a GLOSIS reference node prototype
• Establishing a ‘specialist workgroup’:Wageningen Environmental Research,
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research (NZ), CSIRO (AU), BGR (DE), ISRIC, FAO
(Technical development workshop 17-18 June).
• Pilot implementation: test phase
11. Building the GLOSIS community
• Technical developers:
• Possibility to influence development
• Forefront of technology
• Pilot with software – parallel development
• Early adopters / interested parties:
• Development costs own SIS greatly reduced
• Interoperable system with other countries and institutes
• Facilitates harmonisation within country
• Complements current initiatives
12. Why participate in GloSIS?
• Soil information system components are developed that are ready for use,
open source, easy to implement -> this is a big efficiency gain
• Flexible system for all development levels
• Comes with capacity building
• Basis for national derived products (SOC, erosion, etc..)
• Useful for informing policy and decisions within country and between
countries (borders and international studies)
• Standardisation of data is a one time investment with big efficiency returns
in future analyses/reporting
• Supports global efforts
13. Concerns
• Continuity /sustainability
• Funding
• ISRIC/Soil Data Facility
• Adopters (countries) have limited capacity for all GSP activities
• Link developments in countries to GLOSIS (technical) development

Editor's Notes
For each GSP Pillar an action plan was drafted that outlines the aims and ambitions of the pillar. These action plans were then translated into implementation plans that specify how these aims and ambitions can be realized. An implementation plan of pillar 4 was finalized in February 2016 and was titled “Towards a Global Soil Information System”. This plan is based on the four recommendations of the plan of action.
