- Abstract
The article discusses the completion of the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) as an evaluating and monitoring tool in the land cover modelling process in the continental U.S. It notes that NLCD products can recognize types of changes, their patterns and distributions, and consequences in land cover, land use, and land cover conditions. It adds that the operational land cover monitoring programs are important in conservation planning to mitigate global warming and climate change.
