稀疏定居的森林（SSF）的研究很少，自然和人类系统的结合，涉及森林生态系统中的农村社区，既不是无人居住的荒地，也不是城市地区边缘的森林。我们开发并应用了一种多学科的方法来定义，映射，并检查在空间范围和结构的变化SSF在美国的景观和人口。我们估计，在美国本土，SSF只占人口的6-7%，占所有森林土地的60%以上，占所有土地的30%以上。从1990年到2010年，SSF的面积下降了16%，总体变化不大，但在城市周边地区明显下降。SSF地区的人文景观特征的PCA排序和聚类分析揭示了复杂的区域可变模式。从广义上讲，在遥远的北方和西部各州，SSF的人口密度较低，更多的是由舒适设施驱动的，而东南部的州，向北穿过宾夕法尼亚州和俄亥俄州，人口密度更高，农业更多。SSF的社会经济特征在细尺度上往往变化很大，特别是在城市地区附近。我们对SSF的多学科理解的提高提出了关于这些森林的动态，结构和未来社会经济轨迹的区域差异的重要问题。为了最好地管理这些景观，为了人类和自然系统的利益，SSF需要被视为一种独特的土地分类，而不仅仅是被视为荒野或城市地区周围的模糊边界。
Sparsely settled forests (SSF) are poorly studied, coupled natural and human systems involving rural communities in forest ecosystems that are neither largely uninhabited wildland nor forests on the edges of urban areas. We developed and applied a multidisciplinary approach to define, map, and examine changes in the spatial extent and structure of both the landscapes and human populations of SSF in the United States. We estimated that the SSF in the contiguous United States, which are home to only 6–7% of the population, account for over 60% of all forested land and over 30% of all land. From 1990 to 2010 SSF declined in area by 16%, changing little overall but declining markedly in proximity to urban perimeters. A PCA ordination and cluster analysis of the human and landscape characteristics of SSF areas revealed complex and regionally variable patterns. Very broadly, SSF in the far northern and western states are less densely settled and more amenity driven, while the southeastern states north through Pennsylvania and Ohio are more densely settled and more agricultural. The socioeconomic characteristics of SSF are often quite variable at fine scales, especially in proximity to urban areas. Our improved multidisciplinary understanding of SSF raises important questions about regional differences in the dynamics, structure and future socioeconomic trajectories of these forests. To best manage these landscapes for the sake of both human and natural systems, SSF need to be considered a distinct land classification in their own right, not merely perceived as fuzzy boundaries around wild lands or urban areas.
