Change of land use and land cover (LULC) has been a key issue of natural resource conservation policies and environmental monitoring. In this study, we used multi-temporal remote sensing data and spatial analysis to assess the land cover changes in Fateh Jhang, Attock District, Pakistan. Landsat 7 (ETM+) for the years 2000, 2005 and 2010 and Landsat 8 (OLI/TIRS) for the year 2015 were classified using the maximum likelihood algorithms into built-up area, barren land, vegetation and water area. Post-classification methods of change detection were then used to assess the variation that took place over the study period. It was found that the area of vegetation has decreased by about 176.19 sq. km from 2000 to 2015 as it was converted to other land cover types. The built-up area has increased by 5.75%. The Overall Accuracy and Kappa coefficient were estimated at 0.92 and 0.77, 0.92 and 0.78, 0.90 and 0.76, 0.92 and 0.74, for the years 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015, respectively. It turned out that economic development, climate change and population growth are the main driving forces behind the change. Future research will examine the effects of changing land use types on Land Surface Temperature (LST) over a given time period.

“…Dalam sektor pertanian, lahan terdegradasi dicirikan oleh penurunan produktivitas yang selanjutnya dapat memengaruhi tingkat kesejahteraan petani (Barus et al 2011). Penurunan produktivitas tersebut terjadi karena kehilangan lapisan tanah bagian atas yang mengandung banyak humus (subur) karena erosi (Shaheen et al 2011). Hal ini sesuai dengan yang dikemukakan oleh Sulistyo (2015) bahwa lahan terdegradasi dapat dimodelkan hanya dengan menggunakan parameter erosi saja.…”

“…Selain untuk menghindari terjadinya degradasi, konservasi tanah dan air dimaksudkan agar lebih banyak air hujan yang meresap ke dalam tanah mengisi akuifer menjadi air tanah daripada menjadi aliran permukaan (Riastika 2012). Air tanah tersebut dapat menjaga kelembapan tanah sekaligus sebagai sumber pengairan, terutama pada musim kemarau (Kurnia 2004;Shaheen et al 2011).…”

Land susceptibility to degradation is characterized by the loss of topsoil due to erosion which is considered as a threat to agricultural productivity. Information about land sensitivity to erosion is crucial in determining the appropriate soil and water conservation techniques to avoid land degradation. This study, which was located in the Gandul Sub-Watershed, aims to analyze the level of land sensitivity to erosion in highland agricultural areas. Data analysis was carried out spatially using land system and land-cover maps. Soil and water conservation efforts were determined based on the land function and sensitivity. The land sensitivity to erosion in the Gandul Sub-watershed was categorized into 3 levels which were moderate (3.9%), high (95%), and very high (0.8%). There were various directions for Gandul Sub-Watershed management by considering the level of sensitivity of the land and the function of the area. Creating a ridge is one of the soils and water conservation practices that has been implemented for a long time by local communities as a soil erosion prevention. Keywords: agriculture, erosion, Gandul, sensitivity

“…effective moisture conservation techniques also increases the plant nutrients uptake capacity and the ability of soils to supply nutrients [5]. Kinama., et al (2005) noted that reduced soil evaporative losses under mulches can provide additional 20-25 mm soil moisture for crop transpiration.…”

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) productivity in semi-arid areas is primarily limited by low and erratic rainfall [1]. The soils in these areas have prevailing light texture and are shallow with low moisture holding capacity [2]. As a result, rainfall in semi-arid areas is often accompanied by large amounts of surface runoff.This runoff can however, be trapped in situ and encouraged to infiltrate and become available to crops. One way of doing this is through adoption of in situ soil moisture conservation techniques. Such techniques include pot-holing, tied ridging, furrow sowing,
