This meta-analysis discusses a variety of new land use/land cover data products and their associated applications for improving vulnerability assessments, integrated ecosystem analyses, and Bay restoration as a whole. The authors summarize additional applications to model residential development, assess resource land vulnerability and losses, and identify stream health risk factors in small watersheds.
