Abstract:Long-term exposure to elevated nitrate levels in community drinking water supplies has been associated with an elevated risk of several cancers including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, colon cancer, and bladder cancer. To estimate    human exposure to nitrate,specific crop type information is needed as fertilizer application rates vary widely by crop type. Corn requires the highest application of nitrogen fertilizer of crops grown in the Midwest US. We developed a method to refine the US Geological Survey National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD) (including map and original Landsatimages) to distinguish corn from other crops. Overall average agreement between the resulting corn and other row crops class and ground reference data was 0.79 kappa coefficient with individual Landsat images ranging from 0.46 to 0.93 kappa. The highest accuracies occurred in Regions where corn was the single dominant crop(greater than 80.0%) and the crop vegetation conditions at the time of image acquisition were optimum for separation of corn from all other crops.Factors that resulted in lower accuracies included the accuracy of the NLCD map, accuracy of corn areal estimates,crop mixture, crop condition at the time of Landsat overpass, and Landsat scene anomalies.© 2006 Elsevier B.V.
