Percentage change in land-cover type

table 13.2

This table appears in chapter 13 of the Climate Change Impacts in the United States: The Third National Climate Assessment report.

Percentage change in land-cover type between 1973 and 2000 for the contiguous U.S. National Climate Assessment regions. These figures do not indicate the total amount of changes that have occurred, for example when increases in forest cover were offset by decreases in forest cover, and when cropland taken out of production was offset by other land being put into agricultural production. Data from USGS Land Cover Trends Project; Sleeter et al. 2013.437471ba-9fe3-4547-b193-7bf3ec00fbf3
