what is vegetation cover ?

Vegetation cover refers to the percentage or ratio of plant-covered area to the total area of a given site, such as a district, street, or park. It includes various types and species of plants, such as trees, shrubs, and grasses.

Vegetation cover could be any type and species of plants such as arbours, shrubs, grasses etc. In studies, vegetation cover, as a parameter indicating land use, was significantly correlated with climatic indices and had negative correlation with thermal stress level.
