Fragmentation Analysis
  • Understand the methods and meaning of fragmentation
    • Analysis by land use class for each county
    • Analysis countywide
  • Apply the analysis to model projection and examine trend
    • Change in built land fragmentation patterns
    • Change in agricultural fragmentation patterns
    • Change if forest fragmentation patterns
