Popis:	The deterioration of rangeland resources as a result of environmental changes is a serious concern in the Himalayan mountainous region of Pakistan. The present study is aimed to evaluate the response of vegetation cover of rangeland to recent trends in climate parameters, such as the seasonal temperature and rainfall in the Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. Correlation analysis was performed between the MODIS data products, i.e., NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index) and LST (Land surface temperature), and TRMM rainfall datasets of the 2000-2018 period. NDVI indicated a negative correlation with LST of winter (R= -0.56), spring (R= -0.7), summer (R= -0.24), and autumn (R= -0.23) significant (p
