I had a great comment that got eaten by the blog site, so this will be a briefer version of my previous attempt to comment!<br />Earlier this week I flew from NH to Denver on a clear and cloudless morning. In my window seat, I was struck by the extent of agricultural land use/cover. It was virtually continuous past Vermont and perhaps eastern New York State (minus the great lakes and a couple of urban areas). Now, this is not a surprise to most scientists who study these issues, but it made me reflect on the tremendous extent of human-modified landscapes (agricultural lands in particular) on a national/global scale and the concomitant alteration in ecosystem function. I also reflected on how living in New Hampshire influences perceptions of land cover and land use on a larger scale. We live in the woods and it doesn’t look like the rest of the country!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498692915396565617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1703857296265511423.post-163753133657990132013-09-27T08:00:40.523-07:002013-09-27T08:00:40.523-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Queen Zekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291357994733171694noreply@blogger.com
