Little Tennessee River Basin Scenario Description

Sixteen scenarios have been defined for the Little Tennessee River Basin watershed. These pre-defined scenarios are described below.

Four Transition Modules (TM) used to define the scenarios:

1. Historical transition probabilities for the period 1986-1991.
2. Historical transition probabilities for the period 1975-1986.
3. Spatial limitations on transition from FOREST cover. For this module, forest area that is adjacent to a stream or on slopes greater than 20 percent cannot change to a NONFOREST cover. All other areas will have historical transition probabilities for 1986-1991 applied.
4. No transition from FOREST cover.
