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
9
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.

To reduce flammable material and conserve water at the

Examples of highly combustible plants, or pyrophytes, are
listed in the table below, along with some alternatives.
The alternatives are not in any way fireproof. They are fire retardant, meaning they may slow rather than accelerate the rate
of the fire.
Highly Combustible Plants Alternatives
Bold means extremely combustible (Same cultural requirements and similar either in size or form)
SHRUBS AND GROUNDCOVERS
Yarrow (Achillea spp.) (aromatic, and may dry out in summer) Lewis Flax (Linum lewisii), Evening Primrose (Oenothera spp.)
Algerian Ivy (Hedera canariensis) Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia spp.)
Sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) (aromatic) Saltbush (Atriplex spp.), Red Yucca (Hesperaloe parviflora)
Brooms (Genista) Kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), Buckwheat (Eriogonum spp.)
Herbs (Lavender, Rosemary, etc.) Buckwheat (Eriogonum spp.), Apache Plume (Fallugia paradoxa)
Juniper (Juniperus spp.) Oregon Grape (Mahonia spp.), Wild Rose (Rosa woodsii),
Oakleaf Sumac (Rhus trilobata), Currant (Ribes spp.),
Mockorange (Philadelphus lewisii)
Santolina (Santolina spp.) Narrowleaf Yucca (Yucca glauca), Silver Lupine (Lupinus argenteus)
GRASSES
Bamboo spp. (Phyllostachys, Bambusa) Bluebunch Wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata),
Maiden Grass/Silver Grass (Miscanthus) Sand Dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus), Buffalo Grass (Buchloe
dactyloides), Sandberg Bluegrass (Poa secunda)
Fountain Grass (Pennisetum)
Some of the plants listed here were provided by FireSafe Council of Nevada County or by Colorado State University’s FireWise Plant Materials No. 6.305.

6. Additional alternatives, particularly for the 30’ perimeter
immediately around the home, are succulents such as Hens
and Chicks (Sempervivum spp.), cactus, and sedum. They
can retain water and are low-growing, preventing the
formation of a “ladder” for the fire to reach your home.
Colorado State University Cooperative Extension (1999)
has written a brochure on Firewise Plant Material that
includes a much longer list of fire retardant plants
developed by Phil Hoefer of the Forest Service.
The brochure is No 6.305 of the Natural Resource Series
or it can be accessed on line at
http://www.co.pueblo.co.us/fire/plants.pdf
Additional notes: While swimming pools or ponds
consume a great deal of water, they can be helpful in fire
prevention when positioned appropriately. Because the fire
will move most rapidly uphill they are most effective when
placed on the downward slope to provide a barrier between
the pool and the home. The surrounding hardscape, (walls,
steps, etc.) should be constructed to allow firemen and fire
trucks access to the water. Wooden trellises, decks, and
patios can become a bridge for flames to reach your home:
try to use masonry, or wood with a 2-hour fire-resistive
rating as specified in the UBC. Fencing: single strand wire
fence or masonry are alternatives to the more flammable
post and rail. Keep wood piles well away from the home’s
perimeter. Clean rooftops and gutters of debris, particularly
pine needles and other dried plant material.

7. From the The Xeriscape Flower Gardener (Knopf 1991).
Xeriscape comes from the word xeri, which means dry, and scape, which means vista.
The Seven Principles
of Xeriscape
1) Plant and Design comprehensively from the beginning.
2) Create practical turf areas of manageable sizes, shapes,
and appropriate grasses.
3) Use appropriate plants and zone the landscape according
to the water needs of the plants.
4) Consider improving the soil with organic matter like
compost or manure.
5) Consider using mulches such as wood chips.
6) Irrigate efficiently with properly designed systems
(including hose-end equipment) and by applying the right
amount of water at the right time.
7) Maintain the landscape appropriately by mowing,
pruning, and fertilizing properly.

9. More Reasons to Use Native Plants
and Reduce Turfgrass
From the National Wildlife Federation
• 30 percent of water consumed on the East Coast goes to
watering lawns; 60 percent on the West Coast. (Redesigning
the American Lawn)
• A 1000 square foot lawn requires 10,000 gallons of water
per summer to maintain a “green” look. (U.S. News and
World Report, 10/28/96)
• Eighteen percent of municipal solid waste collected is
composed of organic yard waste. This is 31 million tons a
year. (EPA’s Consumer Handbook for Reducing Solid Waste)
• The average suburban lawn is deluged with ten times as
much chemical pesticide per acre as farmland. (Yale
Graduate Study)
• In the Mississippi watershed, a study found that 44 percent
of nitrogen and 28 percent of phosphorous applied ends up
washed into the Mississippi River, and eventually the Gulf
of Mexico, causing significant environmental problems.
• A lawn mower emits as much hydrocarbon in one hour as
a typical auto driven 50 miles. One hour of chain saw
operation equates to the emissions of an auto driven
200 miles. (National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Lab,
Ann Arbor)
• Per hour of operation, a lawn mower emits 10-12 times as
much hydrocarbon as a typical auto; a string trimmer emits
21 times more and a leaf blower 34 times more.
• A typical four-stroke lawnmower spends 40 hour per year –
the equivalent of a one-week vacation – mowing the lawn.
• Harmful invasive plants out-compete native plants, reducing
biodiversity and habitat value. For example, kudzu now
covers more than 7 million acres in the U.S., mostly in the
Southeast. (USFWS)
• It costs an average of $700 per acre per year to maintain a
lawn; a wildflower meadow costs $30/acre.
