Sixty eight percent (68%) from 1991 to 2005, 22% of that from 2001 to 2005.
Tree canopy change from 1991 to 2005: minus fourteen percent (-14%),
almost all of it between 2001 and 2005.
Where’s all this change coming from and going to?
The dark green is labeled “Evergreen Forest” and decreased from 31.81% in 1991
to 26.47% in 2005.
Meanwhile, the light pink labeled “Low Intensity Urban” went from
5.37% to 8.57%.
Other changes include the red “High Intensity Urban” slice going from 1.15% to 1.98%.
But the biggest change is piney woods being paved over for urban sprawl.
Could this have some effect on flooding?
