POD! Landscape indicators of urban stressors on aquatic ecosystems in the Upper San Francisco Estuary, California, by Hydrodynamic Subregion

Land use is an ultimate driver of many of the stressors on the Upper San Francisco Estuary, but the magnitude and pattern of land use change has not previously been analyzed. I attempted to fill this knowledge gap through a screening-level risk assessment in which ancillary data were used to quantify measures such as impervious cover, housing density, road density and road crossings.
