Analysis of Percentage per Category in 1946 Image 82 and 2016 Image 689
|
Discussion
Looking at the images we there has been an approximately 13% increase in the Coniferous Forest category between 1946 and 2016. However, the historic and modern images had a sizable portion of this category to begin with (73.2% and 86% respectively). Perhaps the more interesting change to note is the upward creep of the forest cover. Along the ridge line in the image pair Mixedwood Forest and Upland Shrub in the '46 image have become Coniferous Forest in the 2016 picture. Figure 1 gives a quick visual comparison.
