Observations are made based on the spatial organization of the
Vegetation. The character of the sky is studied at different spaces
SCALE 1: 25000 which is portrayed depending upon the openness or degree of
enclosure created by the canopies overhead.

INFERENCE:
The vegetation density has a strong sequential character. By this
G study we conclude that, some our area has a densely vegetated and
some of the area has a partially vegetated with shrubs and ground
covers. As most of the site is covered with subabul trees and babul
SCALE 1: 25000 trees, some area has a peepal tree.
