    • Where forest may not return in the western United States

    Metadata Updated: March 7, 2024

    Data from the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) were used to examine where forest was lost in the western United States between 2001 and 2004 and had not returned to forest by 2016 (the latest date of land cover in NLCD at the time of the analysis). Remotely sensed vegetation indices were used to guide interpretation of the land cover trends.

    This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wickham, J., A. Neale, K. Riitters, M. Nash, J. Dewitz, S. Jin, M. Van Fossen, and D. Rosenbaum. Where forest may not return in the western United States. ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 146: 109756, (2023).
