Modelling Landcover Change with a CA-Markov Model for the Siliana Hydrological Catchment (Northwestern Tunisia)

Abstract

Simulating future land cover change is one of the major challenges for scientists, decision makers, and local authorities in terms of data, methods and models that should be used to create a sustainable land cover planning process. The study aims to evaluate the past land cover changes from 1990 to 2019 in Siliana catchment in Northwest Tunisia and predict the situation to 2030 and 2050
