Regional differences in upland forest to developed (urban) land cover conversions in the conterminous U.S., 1973–2011 Regional differences in upland forest to developed (urban) land cover conversions in the conterminous U.S., 1973–2011
In this U.S. Geological Survey study of forest land cover across the conterminous U.S. (CONUS), specific proportions and rates of forest conversion to developed (urban) land were assessed on an ecoregional basis. The study period was divided into six time intervals between 1973 and 2011. Forest land cover was the source of 40% or more of the new urban land in 35 of the 84 ecoregions...

Status and trends of land change in the Midwest–South Central United States—1973 to 2000 Status and trends of land change in the Midwest–South Central United States—1973 to 2000
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Professional Paper 1794–C is the third in a four-volume series on the status and trends of the Nation’s land use and land cover, providing an assessment of the rates and causes of land-use and land-cover change in the Midwest–South Central United States between 1973 and 2000. Volumes A, B, and D provide similar analyses for the Western United States, the...

Assessing landscape change and processes of recurrence, replacement, and recovery in the Southeastern Coastal Plains, USA Assessing landscape change and processes of recurrence, replacement, and recovery in the Southeastern Coastal Plains, USA
The processes of landscape change are complex, exhibiting spatial variability as well as linear, cyclical, and reversible characteristics. To better understand the various processes that cause transformation, a data aggregation, validation, and attribution approach was developed and applied to an analysis of the Southeastern Coastal Plains (SECP). The approach integrates information from...

The Southern Piedmont’s continued land-use evolution, 1973–2011 The Southern Piedmont’s continued land-use evolution, 1973–2011
The southern Piedmont in the U.S. was an important farming region during the 19th century, but by the end of the 20th century, agricultural land use had decreased substantially with forest becoming the majority land cover by the 1970s. Geographical literature has documented this change but has not concentrated on the region’s contemporary land uses. The Piedmont currently has three main...

Having it both ways? Land use change in a U.S. midwestern agricultural ecoregion Having it both ways? Land use change in a U.S. midwestern agricultural ecoregion
Urbanization has been directly linked to decreases in area of agricultural lands and, as such, has been considered a threat to food security. Although the area of land used to produce food has diminished, often overlooked have been changes in agricultural output. The Eastern Corn Belt Plains (ECBP) is an important agricultural region in the U.S. Midwest. It has both gained a significant...
