Medium - Mixed Forest, Range, and Cropland Darl< - Cropland, Irrigated and Urban based on vegetation. Closely related plant communi- ties have been aggregated into single ecosystems. Forest ecosystems are synonymous with forest cover types developed and defined in the Forest Survey conducted by the Forest Service.' Rangeland ecosys- tems are based on potential natural plant communi- ties termed phytocoenoses.- Detailed descriptions of each ecosystem can be found in "Vegetation and Environmental Features of Forest and Range Eco- systems."^ ' U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service Geographic forest types used in the forest survey.

Trends in Area The available data indicate that the area in forest and range land has been declining in recent decades. The inland water area, on the other hand, has been increasing mainly due to reservoir construction. These trends are expected to continue. For example, the total area of forest and range land is projected to be about 5 percent lower by 2030, with decreases of 2 percent for forest lands (from 736 to 718 million acres) and 7 percent for rangelands (from 820 to 764 million acres) (table 2.2). During the 1980's, a significant portion of the pro- jected decline in forest area is expected to result from conversion of forest to cropland, particularly on del- tas and bottomlands of southern rivers. However, after 1990. reduction in forest land area will mainly result from conversion to other land uses such as reservoirs, urban expansion, highway and airport construction, and surface mining.
