Forest fragmentation of the coterminous United States: assessing forest intactness through road density and spatial characteristics. Synopsis: This study attempts to build a forest fragmentation database for the conterminous United States by utilizing high-resolution NLCD data, roads, and a series of fragmentation indices that quantify forest landscape patterns. The paper outlines a methodology for assessing forest fragmentation and provides a comprehensive data set to be used as a base for further investigation at smaller scales. Conclusions: A forest fragmentation database for the conterminous United States was built to quantify forest landscape patterns nationwide. The paper outlines a methodology for assessing forest fragmentation and provides a comprehensive data set to be used as a base for further investigation at smaller scales. Thresholds/Learnings:...
