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 ...

Options for monitoring and estimating historical carbon emissions from forest degradation in the context of REDD+ [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2011 Measuring forest degradation and related forest carbon stock changes is more challenging than measuring deforestation since degradation implies changes in the structure of the forest and does not entail a change in land use, making it less easily ...

Monitoring Approach for Tropical Coniferous Forest Degradation Using Remote Sensing and Field Data [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 Current estimates of CO2 emissions from forest degradation are generally based on insufficient information and are characterized by high uncertainty, while a global definition of ‘forest degradation’ is currently being discussed in the scientific arena ...

Measuring Spatial and Temporal Gravelled Forest Road Degradation in the Boreal Forest
Remote Sensing, 2022 Degradation of forest roads in Canada has strong negative effects on access to forestlands, together with economic (e.g., increased maintenance costs), environmental (e.g., erosion of materials and subsequent habitat contamination), and social (e.g., use

Remote SensingForest degradation and forest disturbance are distinct yet often conflated concepts, complicating their definition and monitoring. Forest degradation involves interrupted succession and a severe reduction in forest services over time, caused by factors ...

The drivers and impacts of Amazon forest degradation [PDF]
Science, 2023 Approximately 2.5 × 10 6 square kilometers of the Amazon forest are currently degraded by fire, edge effects, timber extraction, and/or extreme drought, representing 38% of all remaining forests in the region. Carbon emissions from this degradation total up to 0.2 petagrams of carbon per year (Pg C year −

Remote Sensing, 2021 Detecting forest degradation from satellite observation data is of great significance in revealing the process of decreasing forest quality and giving a better understanding of regional or global carbon emissions and their feedbacks with climate changes.
