Machine learning analysis of land use change dynamics in Malawi’s Chia Lagoon
Land-use and land-cover (LULC) change is a major driver of ecosystem degradation, particularly in freshwater wetlands where spatially explicit evidence is limited. This study aimed to quantify two decades (2004–2024) of LULC change in Malawi’s Chia Lagoon catchment using machine-learning-based remote sensing approaches...
