Abstract
Land degradation is a worldwide concern which affects some 22.5% of the world's cropland, pasture and forest Eco zones worldwide, most notably in arid and semi-arid regions. This deforestation threat has implications regarding agricultural production, with associated economic and environmental loss. In this study, we add towards spatiotemporal analysis for monitoring of land uses and land covers (LULCs) alterations in Kirkuk City, Iraq over the timespan 2000–2024 via optical satellite techniques and advanced RS approaches. Using Landsat 5,8 and 9 Multi-temporal images, the paper applies change detection process and supervised classification with Support Vector Machine (SVM) to describe LULC changes. The results reveal some significant features such as desert cultivated land: 11.43% between year 2000 and 2010 to an unmistakable above average (19. 94% (from 2010 to 2015) with urbanization accounting for a large proportion of land cover change. Then a gain of agricultural land at specific years and locations (2010–2015 at two discrete valleys) was subsequently compensated with an increase by which this extension turned out into barren lands between 2015 and 2020 (9.56 % of the area). The waste land was also recastaceous where 39.50% were treated to soils by 2020-2024. Statistically, change detection results show that 1.03% and 0.84% of the agricultural land and barren has converted to built-up area during year 2020-24 because of urban expansion. The authors witnessed some desert reclamation (1.89 % of the desertic area were reclaimed to agriculture during 2015–2020); however, the general tendency continued towards more intensified desertification and deterioration of land quality. .
