Area sampling strategies in relation to land use monitoring needs and objectives / C.R. Bryant and L.H. Russwurm.: En73-4/24E-PDF
"Given the need to monitor what is happening to Canada's land resources, the Canada Land Use Monitoring Program in the Lands Directorate of Environment Canada has already initiated projects dealing with land use changes in the urban-centred regions and prime resource lands of the country. Beyond these urban-fringe and unique areas, there are still vast areas of rural resource lands which are also undergoing various changes consequent upon urbanization and economic development. In this report, based on an appreciation of the nature of rural land use change, a conceptual framework for reviewing sampling strategies and a review of selected existing sampling programs in other countries, recommendations are made on the broad structure of a rural land use monitoring program for Canada and on the necessary next steps required prior to eventual implementation"--Abstract.
