Research gap analysis derived from 3 earth_science papers in our local library.
The gap
The study relies on a specific dataset and may not be generalizable to other regions. The study uses a limited number of environmental variables. The study does not account for other factors that may influence vegetation distribution, such as land use and disturbance.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the limitations section and stated research gap of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2024 and 2026, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 14 times in total.

The study did not consider the details of further classification of vegetation. Details about buildings, industries, schools, and other infrastructure in built-up areas are missing. The class of water could be further divided into surface and groundwater, but only surface water was considered. The derived factors included in this study were confined to slope, aspect, distance from road, and distance from waterways.
