Modeled 2030 land cover for the Northern Glaciated Plains ecoregion
The USGS Forecasting Scenarios of Land-use Change (FORE-SCE) model was used to produce an agricultural biofuel scenarios for the Northern Glaciated Plains, from 2012 to 2030. The modeling used parcel data from the USDA's Common Land Unit (CLU) data set to represent real, contiguous ownership and land management units. A Monte Carlo approach was used to create 50 unique replicates of potential landscape conditions in the future, based on a agricultural scenario from the U.S. Department of Energy's Billion Ton Update. The data are spatially explicit, covering the entire Northern Glaciated Plains ecoregions (an EPA Level III ecoregion), with a spatial resolution of 30-meters and 22 unique land-cover classes (including common crop types in the region). Files included are 1) the starting land cover data set for 2012, 2) 50 Monte Carlo replicates of 2030 land cover, and 3) supporting metadata.
data represent 50 individual Monte Carlo runs for the 2012 to 2030 biofuel scenario in the Northern Glaciated Plains ecoregion,
