| There are different definition of forest degradation (Penman et al., 2003; FAO, 2011), whose assessment generally requires a longitudinal monitoring of forest structure over time. The WRI atlas of forest and landscape restoration opportunities1 mapped degraded forests by combining a map of potential forest coverage (derived from data on climate, soils, elevation, and current and historical forest extent), a map of current forest coverage (based on Hansen?s 2003 map), and data on land use. Data from the FAO Global Dryland Assessment (GDA), collected using the Open Forest Collect Earth tool, can be used to update both the map of potential forest coverage and the map of current forest coverage. Moreover, the analysis can be done separately for each land use category, thus directly integrating the land use effect on forest degradation. | |
