Land and Forest Degradation inside Protected Areas in Latin America

Diversity, 2013
Using six years of remote sensing data, we estimated land and forest degradation inside 1788 protected areas across 19 countries in Latin America. From 2004–2009, the rate of land and forest degradation increased by 250% inside the protected areas, and ...

Satellite-based primary forest degradation assessment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2000–2010

Environmental Research Letters, 2013
Primary forest extent, loss and degradation within the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) were quantified from 2000 to 2010 by combining directly mapped forest cover extent and loss data (CARPE) with indirectly mapped forest degradation data (intact ...

Lessons Learned While Implementing a Time-Series Approach to Forest Canopy Disturbance Detection in Nepal

Remote Sensing, 2021
While deforestation has traditionally been the focus for forest canopy disturbance detection, forest degradation must not be overlooked. Both deforestation and forest degradation influence carbon loss and greenhouse gas emissions and thus must be ...

Forest degradation impacts firewood consumption patterns: A case study in the buffer zone of Inlay Lake Biosphere Reserve, Myanmar

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Firewood is a major energy source, especially in developing countries. Because firewood is often collected from forest, forest quality may affect firewood consumption patterns.

Reducing Deforestation and Forest Degradation: Leakage or Synergy? [PDF]

Land Economics, 2015
Agricultural expansion is the main deforestation driver, while forest degradation is due to non-sustainable poaching and harvesting of forest products. Policies to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) thus focus on agricultural expansion and illegal harvesting.

Remote sensing of forest degradation: a review

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Forest degradation affects forest structure, composition and diversity, carbon stocks, functionality and ecosystem processes. It is known to contribute significantly to global carbon emissions, but there is uncertainty about the relative size of these ...
