Deforestation Near Public Lands
This article is an empirical examination of human-environment interactions associated with deforestation. The focus is on areas adjacent to the Buffalo National River and Ozark–St. Francis National Forest. Satellite imagery and census data over a 10-year timeframe are analyzed using multivariate methods to provide insight into underlying processes impacting land cover change. Examination of the parameters in areas near public land boundaries in c…
Human-Induced Switches on Public Land Boundaries
This article examines interactions between land cover changes and human activity near public land boundaries. The article empirically examines multiple dimensions that may drive land cover changes, using a framework including ecological switches and biogeographical islands. Publicly owned lands become “islands” in the broader landscape within which they are embedded. As such, they may be of insufficient size or too isolated to allow the targeted …

The larger of the 2 communities had an array of locally available health care providers, whereas the smaller community did not. In response to this lack of available care, the project designed and delivered outreach programs, including transportation to providers. PURPOSE: The purp…
