Study on the Impact of Land Use and Climate Change on the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Vegetation Cover in Chongqing, China by Shuai Liang, Dandan Xu, Danni Luo, Anjing Xiao, Xinyue Yuan

“…By analysing remote sensing image data and climate data, it was found that Chongqing Municipality experienced significant land use changes during the study period, especially urban expansion and the reduction of agricultural land, which led to the reduction of vegetation cover. Meanwhile, precipitation in climate change positively affected vegetation growth and coverage, while the increase in surface temperature during urbanisation negatively affected vegetation cover and exacerbated the urban heat island effect. …”
