Geography for a Changing World - A science strategy for the geographic research of the U.S. Geological Survey, 2005-2015 Geography for a Changing World - A science strategy for the geographic research of the U.S. Geological Survey, 2005-2015
This report presents a science strategy for the geographic research of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for the years 2005-2015. The common thread running through the vision, mission, and science goals presented in the plan is that USGS geographers will provide national leadership to understand coupled human-environmental systems in the face of land change and will deliver pertinent...

Rural land-use trends in the conterminous United States, 1950-2000 Rural land-use trends in the conterminous United States, 1950-2000
In order to understand the magnitude, direction, and geographic distribution of land-use changes, we evaluated land-use trends in U.S. counties during the latter half of the 20th century. Our paper synthesizes the dominant spatial and temporal trends in population, agriculture, and urbanized land uses, using a variety of data sources and an ecoregion classification as a frame of...

Soil organic carbon dynamics as related to land use history in the northwestern Great Plains Soil organic carbon dynamics as related to land use history in the northwestern Great Plains
Strategies for mitigating the global greenhouse effect must account for soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics at both spatial and temporal scales, which is usually challenging owing to limitations in data and approach. This study was conducted to characterize the SOC dynamics associated with land use change history in the northwestern Great Plains ecoregion. A sampling framework (40 sample...

An evaluation of sampling strategies to improve precision of estimates of gross change in land use and land cover An evaluation of sampling strategies to improve precision of estimates of gross change in land use and land cover
Statistical sampling offers a cost-effective, practical alternative to complete-coverage mapping for the objective of estimating gross change in land cover over large areas. Because land cover change is typically rare, the sampling strategy must take advantage of design and analysis tools that enhance precision. Using two populations of land cover change in the eastern United States, we
