This region, which\ncovers approximately 17.5 million hectares, includes portions of the U.S. states of Arkansas, Missouri,\nOklahoma, and Kansas.  Most of the area is covered by gently rolling hills of forests and pastureland.\nTwo raster maps were created at a 30-meter resolution showing the causes of land change using\nautomated and manual photo interpretation techniques.  There were 30 categories of land change\ncauses (i.e., forest harvest or surficial mining) discovered over the Interior Highlands.  These categories\ncan be used by researchers to summarize the historical patterns of land change for the region and to\nunderstand the impacts that these land change causes may have on the areas\u2019 ecology, hydrology,\nwildlife, and climate.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9W4SF05", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.5bb541c2e4b0fc368e877f33.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_5bb541c2e4b0fc368e877f33", "keyword": ["Interior Highlands", "Ozarks", "Springfield, Missouri", "USGS:5bb541c2e4b0fc368e877f33", "ecoregion 36", "ecoregion 37", "ecoregion 38", "ecoregion 39", "historical land change", "land change causes", "land cover", "land cover change", "land transformations", "land use", "land use change", "northern Arkansas", "south central United States", "southeast Oklahoma", "southern Missouri", "urban land change"], "modified": "2020-08-20T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-96.69773344, 33.904796197, -89.531884481, 38.930580094", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Data release for the Land Change Causes for the United States Interior Highlands (2001 to 2006 and 2006 to 2011 time intervals)"}
