Description:

Abstract:

These land use forecasts were generated for the years 2020 and 2040 under two different scenarios. The data were generated using a model that forecasts land use change

Purpose:

These data are used to illustrate potential quantity and location of land use changes in the South, especially those that affect the distribution of forests.
