Bolded diagonal numbers represent proportions of each LULC that were static (persisted) between 1986 and 2019.

The loss and gain values refer the proportion of the LULC that experienced gross loss and gain in each class, respectively.

All the figures in the table are in hectares in thousand.

*Refer the sum of diagonals of static LULC.

Net change = gain–loss.
