RPA Assessment Webinar: U.S. Forest Fragmentation and Land Cover Patterns
Forest fragmentation continues even as total forestland area remains relatively stable. The Update to the 2010 Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment reported that forest cover fragmentation increased from 2001 to 2011, with fragmentation rates higher on private land than on public land. Eastern Threat Center research ecologist Kurt Riitters will present a webinar on March 28 at 1:00 ET to describe how the RPA Assessment treatment of forest spatial patterns has evolved, summarize key results related to forest spatial patterns, and discuss future directions in evaluating fragmentation and land cover patterns. Join the webinar through Adobe Connect. For audio, dial 1-888-844-9904 and enter participant code 4167967#.
