University of Connecticut Center for Land Use Education and Research
Connecticut’s Changing Landscape – Forest Fragmentation Analysis Project
The Center for Land Use Education and Research’s (CLEAR) land fragmentation tool was applied to analyzing forest cover in five dates of land cover (1985, 1990, 1995, 2002, 2006) for the state of Connecticut. Results provide a sense of the health and function of the state’s natural resources. Users can view results in several formats, including interactive maps.
C-CAP Forest Fragmentation Data
CLEAR’s land fragmentation tool was applied to analyze forest fragmentation in NOAA’s nationally available Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) land cover data. Results provide nationally consistent measures of forest fragmentation, over several dates, for the coastal areas of the U.S.
