DOI: 10.1080/17538947.2022.2061618
Abstract: ABSTRACT 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 identify deforestation and… read more here.
