Modeling the Land Cover Change in Chesapeake Bay Area for Precision Conservation and Green Infrastructure Planning
This study developed a precise land cover model to predict the shifts from pervious to impervious surfaces in the Chesapeake watershed.Utilizing 1 m resolution longitudinal land cover data from the Conservation Innovation Center (CIC), our model achieved impressive balanced accuracies: 98.96% for Portsmouth, 99.88% for Isle of Wight, and 95.76% for
