Land use land cover classification from different classifiers in Kedah between 2014 and 2021 using Google Earth engine / Noorain Ahmad

Over time, a growing human population that accelerates land use and land cover (LULC) change has placed a massive burden on natural resources. Changes in LULC have become an essential issue for decision makers and environmentalists. Monitoring and evaluating LULC changes over large areas become crit...
