Urban Growth Projection for DSL-SAMBI

This dataset represents the extent of urbanization (for the year indicated) predicted by the model SLEUTH, developed by Dr. Keith C. Clarke, at the University of California, Santa Barbara, Department of Geography and modified by David I. Donato of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Eastern Geographic Science Center (EGSC). Further model modification and implementation was performed at the Biodiversity and Spatial Information Center at North Carolina State University. Urban growth probability extents throughout the 21st century for the DSL-SAMBI, which encompasses the Atlantic Coastal Plain in the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. This data set is not intended for site-specific analyses. Interpretations derived from its use are suited for regional and planning purposes only. These data are not intended to be used at scales larger than 1:100,000. Acknowledgment of Biodiversity and Spatial Analysis Center at North Carolina State University is appreciated.

本数据集呈现了由加利福尼亚大学圣巴巴拉分校地理系基思·C·克拉克（Keith C. Clarke）博士开发、美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）东部地理科学中心（Eastern Geographic Science Center, EGSC）的戴维·I·多纳托（David I. Donato）修改的SLEUTH模型所预测的对应年份的城市化范围。
北卡罗来纳州立大学生物多样性与空间信息中心进一步完成了该模型的修改与实施工作。
本数据集包含DSL-SAMBI区域的21世纪城市增长概率范围，该区域覆盖阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、北卡罗来纳州、南卡罗来纳州及弗吉尼亚州境内的大西洋沿岸平原。
本数据集不可用于特定场地分析，基于其得出的解读仅适用于区域研究与规划用途。
本数据集的使用比例尺不得大于1:100,000。
