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

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.

Forest Degradation: When Is a Forest Degraded? [PDF]
Forests, 2018 The concept of forest degradation tends to be addressed in broad terms, and existing definitions are difficult to apply in practice. These definitions are based on a reduction in the production of ecosystem goods and services, but fail to address how, when and to what degree this reduction—which ultimately leads to degradation of a forest—occurs ...
