Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:377422
The report reviews the most current data on the status and trends of forests in the states of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The report begins with an historical perspective of land use changes in the basin from the time of European settlement to today. It then proceeds with the status of the forests in the Bay watershed in 1996 and trends of forest change from the mid 1970`s to early 1990`s. The information is examined in light of its importance to the Bay. Finally, we present recommendations for an effective forest conservation program for the Chesapeake Bay region.
