Detection of Typical Forest Degradation Patterns: Characteristics and Drivers of Forest Degradation in Northeast China

Remote Sensing
The accurate identification of forest degradation and its driving factors is a prerequisite for implementing high-quality forest management. However, distinguishing degradation patterns is often neglected in large-scale forest quality assessments.

Effects of forest degradation classification on the uncertainty of aboveground carbon estimates in the Amazon [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management, 2023
Background Tropical forests are critical for the global carbon budget, yet they have been threatened by deforestation and forest degradation by fire, selective logging, and fragmentation. Existing uncertainties on land cover classification and in biomass

How Can Remote Sensing Help Monitor Tropical Moist Forest Degradation?—A Systematic Review

Remote Sensing, 2020
In the context of the climate and biodiversity crisis facing our planet, tropical forests playing a key role in global carbon flux and containing over half of Earth’s species are important to preserve.

Slowly getting there: a review of country experience on estimating emissions and removals from forest degradation [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management
Estimating emissions and removals from forest degradation is important, yet challenging, for many countries. This paper reports results from analysis of country reporting (to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and also to several ...

Current remote sensing approaches to monitoring forest degradation in support of countries measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) systems for REDD+ [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management, 2017
Forest degradation is a global phenomenon and while being an important indicator and precursor to further forest loss, carbon emissions due to degradation should also be accounted for in national reporting within the frame of UN REDD+.

The impact of charcoal production on forest degradation: a case study in Tete, Mozambique [PDF]

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
Charcoal production for urban energy consumption is a main driver of forest degradation in sub Saharan Africa. Urban growth projections for the continent suggest that the relevance of this process will increase in the coming decades.

Combining post-disturbance land cover and tree canopy cover from Landsat time series data for mapping deforestation, forest degradation, and recovery across Cambodia

International Journal of Digital Earth, 2022
Mapping of deforestation, forest degradation, and recovery is essential to characterize country-level forest change and formulate mitigation actions. Previous studies have mainly used a simple forest/non-forest classification after forest disturbance to ...

Proximate Causes of Forest Degradation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Vary in Space and Time

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
Forest degradation, generally defined as a reduction in the delivery of forest ecosystem services, can have long-term impacts on biodiversity, climate, and local livelihoods. The quantification of forest degradation, its dynamics and proximate causes can
