摘要

The lower Cedar River basin of western Washington has experienced major land conversions along an urban-rural gradient. This basin lies within King County's jurisdiction for managing population growth and providing open space for riparian habitats and other benefits. We addressed a major management question: What areas in the lower Cedar River basin are undergoing significant land cover changes that could impact riparian and aquatic habitats? The distribution of land cover changes was considered across physical, ecological, and political landscapes. Land cover within the basin was evaluated for change between 1991 and 1998. Significant increases in developed land cover in the more urbanized areas included the widening of a major highway on the river floodplains and conversion of isolated forest patches through infill development. More rural areas demonstrated increases in developed land cover which correspond with patterns of scattered low-density residential, clustered dense commercial and residential development near newly incorporated areas. Changes in land cover point to uncertainties for implementation of County programs for acquiring open spaces in riparian areas. Identification of changes in the extent of developed land cover classes, which infer changes in impervious cover, are designed to facilitate fine-resolution spatial hydrological modeling and future management.
