Figure 3.
The land use and land cover map covers the Auckland region from approximately 35 degrees 50 minutes south to 37 degrees 30 minutes south and 173 degrees 50 minutes east to 175 degrees 50 minutes east. The legend identifies water, developed, barren, forest, fallow land, planted or cultivated land, and the regional boundary. Developed areas are concentrated around the central and southern parts, while forest occupies extensive northern, western, and eastern areas. Barren, fallow, and planted or cultivated areas are distributed throughout the region. Water areas occur within the landmass and around the irregular coastline and islands. A compass indicates north, east, south, and west. The scale bar extends from 0 to 100 kilometres, with marks at 12.5, 25, 50, 75, and 100 kilometres.LULC
