Conclusion
It’s clear from an assessment of historic land use and land cover patterns in Florida that
significant changes have occurred since the beginning of the 20th century, primarily caused by
human population growth, development, and activities such as agricultural production. Other
natural phenomena have also caused shifts in the landscape, but the primary drivers have been
humans. However, even today Florida still has highly significant cultural and natural landscapes
and biodiversity that provide important services to the people that live in the state, in addition to
possessing intrinsic values separate from their value to humans. As future changes continue to
occur as a result of climate change and population growth, it will be more important than ever to
conduct careful land use planning and management so that we can preserve these resources, and
maintain the qualities that make Florida the special place that it is today.
