LUCAS model spatial output data of historical and projected future land change transition probabilities for California

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-09-06T00:00:00Z
This dataset provides annual raster maps of transition probability (i.e., land use change or disturbance) for California, USA. Land change transition probabilities were derived from the Land Use and Carbon Scenario Simulator (LUCAS). The model was run at 1-km resolution on an annual timestep for historical (1985-2020) and projected future (2021-2100) time periods. Simulations for the projected future time period were run under all combinations of four climate scenarios, two urbanization scenarios, and two vegetation management scenarios with 40 Monte Carlo realizations for each simulation.
