How to estimate future forest cover in a watershed
Check out this SlideShare Presentation: Looking at this as I am starting an imperviousness study (first NC, then on to other southeastern states). I'll use the output and compare with the EPA's 2005 Imperviousness Study for the Southeastern States. I'll be able to provide a growth factor and also ratios such as rooftops vs. parking lots, rooftops vs. roads, and commercial vs. residential changes over time. When the imperviousness study is done, I hope to match it with endangered species habitat studies and eventually even provide a model to predict the migration routes that need to be preserved due to the unfortunate occurrence of the rising sea levels.
