Welcome
The Land Use and Land Cover Dynamics Team conducts national, regional,
and sub-regional assessments of land use and land cover changes
affecting the nations forest, grassland, and aquatic ecosystems.
Key Team research areas include: 1) projecting national and regional
forestland development; 2) evaluating forest fragmentation and potential
effects on ecosystem services; 3) examining development effects
on private forests and their management; and 4) examining factors
affecting public values and preferences regarding forestland conservation.
Team research often is interdisciplinary and frequently involves
scientists and natural resources professionals from other USDA Forest
Service Research Programs, government agencies, and organizations.
