....environmental impacts. Currently LUCAS is designed to perform only species habitat suitability analyses. Dr. Scott M. Pearson at Mars Hill College (Mars Hill, NC) created a list of species and habitat identification algorithms for each of the watersheds currently simulated by LUCAS in Table 7 [28]. The output from this module is a binary map; either a grid cell is suitable for a species or it is not. The statistics in Table 6 are again collected for each impact map. Table 7 Species habitats impacts modeled by LUCAS Watershed Species Catawba Rhododendron Rhododendron catawbiense ....
....The Land Use Change Analysis System is a valuable prototype tool for modeling changes in a landscape to better understand human influence on the environment. LUCAS has already been used by several investigators to better understand land management and change in the LTRB and the Hoh watersheds [28,36,38,39]. Based on the validation results, the environmental scientists working on the project have confirmed their model. Future development of the LUCAS concept will be facilitated by other projects such as the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) at Oak Ridge National ....

....environmental impacts. Currently LUCAS is designed to perform only species habitat suitability analyses. Dr. Scott M. Pearson at Mars Hill College (Mars Hill, NC) created a list of species and habitat identification algorithms for each of the watersheds currently simulated by LUCAS in Table 3. 5 [Pea95] The output from this module is a binary map; either a grid cell is suitable for a species or it is not. The statistics in Table 3.4 are again collected for each impact map. Table 3.5: Species habitats impacts modeled by LUCAS Watershed Species Catawba Rhododendron Rhododendron catawbiense ....

LUCAS has already been used by several investigators to better understand land management and change in the LTRB and the Hoh watersheds [WF93, TWF94, WTF94, Pea95] Based on the validation results, the environmental scientists working on the project have confirmed their model. Future development of the LUCAS concept seems likely as other projects, such as the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory ....
