Percent Of The Conterminous United States Projected To Experience Lulc

Percent Of The Conterminous United States Projected To Experience Lulc The projections provided here are characterized by: 1) 250 meter spatial resolution (250 m pixels) 2) 17 land cover classes, similar to classes from nlcd 3) annual land cover maps from 1992 to 2100 4) spatial coverage for the entire conterminous united states 5) an additional "forest stand age" layer for both the historical period (1992 2005. Four spatially explicit datasets consistent with scenario storylines were produced for the conterminous united states, with annual lulc maps from 1992 through 2100. the future projections are characterized by a loss of natural land covers in most scenarios, with corresponding expansion of 10 anthropogenic land uses.

Characteristics Of The Lulc Projections Covering The Conterminous Fore sce produced annual, 250 m resolution lulc maps for each of the four ipcc sres scenarios from 1992 to 2100. with 17 individual lulc classes modeled, these projections are the first to provide high thematic resolution data for the conterminous united states at a relatively high spatial resolution. fore sce also produces data layers on. We compared projections from six lulc modeling applications for the united states and assessed quantitative, spatial, and conceptual inconsistencies. each set of projections provided multiple scenarios covering a period from roughly 2000 to 2050. We explored the interaction between projected lulc and solar photovoltaic (pv) deployment by integrating projections of lulc with a model that can project future deployment of solar pv with high spatial resolution for the conterminous united states. we used four scenarios of lulc projections from 2010 to 2050 and two electricity grid scenarios. Abstract. the landscape of the conterminous united states has changed dramatically over the last 200 years, with agricultural land use, urban expansion, forestry, and other anthropogenic activities altering land cover across vast swaths of the country. while land use and land cover (lulc) models have been developed to model potential future.
