The fragmentation dataset classifies forested areas into several fragmentation classes using spatial pattern analysis, and includes effects of both deforestation and regrowth on forest fragmentation. Multiple variations of this dataset are available for the years 2000 and 2012, each making different assumptions about: the distance that fragmentation effects extend into forests (500 metres or 1000 metres); the canopy cover (%) that defines forest area (25 or 50%); and the minimum area (in hectares) of a fragment to be be considered a forest fragment (0, 1 or 5 ha). The map presented here shows effects extending 500 metres into forest interiors. This dataset has a 30-metre spatial resolution. Data derived from: Hansen, M.C., et al. 2013. High-Resolution Global Maps of 21st-Century Forest Cover Change. Science 342, 850–853. 10.1126/science.1244693 Created as part of the GEF-funded Global Support to Sixth National Report Project in collaboration with the NASA-funded Forest Integrity Project.
