Forest cover loss hotspots from 2000 to 2005 for Boreal biome
Jul 16, 2010
Uploaded by
Conservation Biology Institute
- Description:
- Biome-wide forest cover loss hotspot maps were created using annual MODIS imagery from 2000 to 2005. The regression tree algorithm related forest cover loss training data to the MODIS inputs, resulting in a per pixel 5-year change fraction map. We applied a 5% change fraction threshold to produce a per pixel forest change hotspot map. These data represent areas of intensive forest cover clearing.
MODIS data alone are inadequate for accurate change area estimation because most forest clearing occurs at sub-MODIS pixel scales. For forest cover and forest cover loss area calculation please use the calibrated products at 18.5 km resolution.
Data is in ESRI GRID format.
