What is the impact of rising temperatures on vegetation cover in Al-Dreez Village during the years from 2016 to 2025?
The report examines the impact of rising temperatures during the period from 2016 to 2025 on vegetation cover in Al-Dreez Village, based on data from NASA. The data show a general upward trend in temperatures in recent years, leading to increased evaporation rates and reduced soil moisture. In addition, data from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indicate a decline in the density and health of vegetation cover during certain seasons, particularly during periods of extreme heat and drought, reflecting clear plant stress. The report confirms the existence of an inverse relationship between rising temperatures and the deterioration of vegetation cover quality, emphasizing the importance of water resource management and the protection of the plant environment to mitigate the impacts of climate change on the village
