Journal Article
Completion of the 2001 National Land Cover Database for the conterminous United States
Collin G. Homer,Jon Dewitz,Joyce Fry,Michael Coan,Nazmul Hossain,Charles R. Larson,Alexa J. McKerrow,J. Nick VanDriel,James D. Wickham +8 more
TL;DR: The National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) as discussed by the authors provides a 30-meter resolution land cover data layer over the conterminous United States from circa 1992 Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery.
Journal ArticleDOI
The southern megalopolis: using the past to predict the future of urban sprawl in the Southeast U.S.
Adam J. Terando,Adam J. Terando,Jennifer K. Costanza,Curtis Belyea,Robert R. Dunn,Alexa J. McKerrow,Alexa J. McKerrow,Jaime A. Collazo +7 more
TL;DR: This work develops simulations using the SLEUTH urban growth model that complement population-driven models but focus on spatial pattern and extent, and extends the capabilities of SLEuth by incorporating street-network information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrating multiple data sources in species distribution modeling: a framework for data fusion*
Krishna Pacifici,Brian J. Reich,David A. W. Miller,Beth Gardner,Glenn E. Stauffer,Susheela P. Singh,Alexa J. McKerrow,Jaime A. Collazo +7 more
TL;DR: Three new models that share information in a less direct manner resulting in more robust performance when the auxiliary data is of lesser quality are developed for combining data sources and used in a case study of the Brown-headed Nuthatch in the Southeastern U.S.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium — 20 Years of Development and Integration of USA National Land Cover Data
James D. Wickham,Collin G. Homer,James E. Vogelmann,Alexa J. McKerrow,Rick Mueller,Nate Herold,John W. Coulston +6 more
TL;DR: As a set, the MRLC products include almost every aspect of land cover from impervious surface to detailed crop and vegetation types to fire fuel classes and some products can be used for land cover change assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Representation of Ecological Systems within the Protected Areas Network of the Continental United States
Jocelyn L. Aycrigg,Anne Davidson,Leona K. Svancara,Kevin J. Gergely,Alexa J. McKerrow,Michael L. Scott +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the representation of ecological systems in the current protected areas network and found insufficient representation at three vegetation community levels within lower elevations and moderate to high productivity soils.
