An educational seminar at the College of Agriculture discusses the impact of vegetation cover on climate change
An educational seminar at the College of Agriculture, University of Samarra, addressed “Vegetation Cover and Its Impact on Climate Change,” presented by Assistant Lecturer Youssef Ali Mohammed and Assistant Lecturer Batoul Sabah Ubaid.
The speakers aimed to highlight the importance of green environments and vegetation cover, and their effects on climate change, including temperature fluctuations, drought, and dust storms that affect many countries worldwide.
Vegetation cover encompasses all green areas of plants covering the soil surface, such as forests, grasslands, and crop lands.
The lecturers recommended implementing a series of legislative measures to help preserve vegetation cover, most notably enacting laws to protect vegetation and increase green spaces, obligating local authorities and relevant entities to monitor and enforce these laws, and promoting tree-planting initiatives within the community.
