A significant increase has been noticed in area covered by vegetation amongst all land features (Figs. 6, 7 and 8). This development indicates that climate change is providing favorable conditions for growth and development of vegetation (Gabrielsen et al. 2016; Jin et al. 2017 ; Schaffer-Smith et al. 2017 ) since the anthropogenic events are rare in the area. In addition, environmental degradation and invasive species might also play an important role in the wetland depletion in the area (Houlahan and Findlay 2004; Ehrenfeld 2008;Feng et al. 2017).
