Frequency of forest change across the conterminous United States from 1985-2020

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

We summarized annual remote sensing land cover classifications from the U.S. Geological Survey Land Cover Monitoring, Assessment, and Projection (LCMAP) annual time series to characterize the frequency of forest change across the conterminous United States (CONUS) between 1985-2020. Tabular output includes information on 1) the area classified as forest in each State by year, 2) the forest area in each frequency class (1 - 36 years) in each State, and 3) the forest area and proportion of total forest area that has changed (or not changed) in each State over the entire time series (1985-2020).
