Abstract
This article investigates the growth of public roads in Maine over a 17-year period to select the best model to predict future road growth. The selected model predicted 0.5 million km of new roads in the Northern Appalachian / Acadian ecoregion for the next two decades. This type of model will assist planning agencies and conservation organizations to protect against biodiversity threats due to road expansion.
