Annual dynamics of forest areas in South America during 2007–2010 at 50-m spatial resolution

2017-11-01

Abstract excerpt

South America has the largest tropical rainforests and the richest biodiversity in the world. It is challenging to map tropical forests and their spatio-temporal changes because forests are facing fragmentation from human activities (e.g., logging, deforestation), drought, and fire, as well as persistent clouds. Here we present a robust approach to map forests in South America during 2007–2010 and analyze the cons...
