    Effect of Land Use and Land Cover Change in Context of Growth Enhancements in the U.S. since 1700: Net Source or Sink?

    Authors
    Benjamin S. Felzer
    Description

    Dataset consists of model code, model input files (used to drive the model), and model output files. "Here we take a modeling approach that involves a full carbon accounting to include the effect of previous human-induced land use changes and management during a period of abiotic changes to the environment since the 1700s. The goal is to show how land use and land cover change has affected carbon...

    Description

    Remote sensing data were used to develop land use and land cover (LULC) datasets in ArcGIS Pro Version 3.0. For the climate datasets, the multivariate adaptive constructed analogs multivariate adaptive constructed analogs (MACA) Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 8.5 data from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Earth System Model (CESM) were used for future projections...

    Effect of SSP370 and SSP245 on the future carbon sink for the conterminous U.S.

    Authors
    Benjamin S. Felzer
    Description

    This study uses a modeling approach to compare a middle‐of‐the‐road (SSP245) versus rocky road (SSP370) scenario for the conterminous United States. While both scenarios result in a carbon sink by the end of the century, it is larger in SSP245, due to less deforestation and more moderate climate. This modeling study explores how elevated atmosphere CO2, climate warming, and land use and land cover...
