The Leaf area index trend analysis results presented in Table \ref{974045}, showed that the overall vegetation cover and the cultivated area neither expanded nor reduced in the Eskandari watershed over the period. Although there is a slight negative trend, it was not significant statistically; because the statistics of Z with the value of -0.78 and -0.85 and p with the value of 56.75 and 60.74, in the MK and TFPW-MK tests respectively confirmed that the negative trend was not significant. We also used GEE to extract vegetation cover images. The study period was divided into 4-year intervals, and the LAI index on the first day of January in the years 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019 is shown in Figure \ref{127987}. The results indicated that, despite some fluctuation, the overall vegetation cover remained stable, and this was consistent with the findings of the trend analysis.
