• Tropical Moist Forests (TMF) - Degradation year map

    The degradation year is the year when the TMF has been degraded for the first time (and remained degraded up to 2019).

    The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre developed this new dataset on change dynamics in tropical moist forests (TMF) using 38 years of Landsat time series. The wall-to-wall maps at 0.09 ha resolution (30m) depict the TMF extent and the related disturbances (deforestation and degradation), and post-disturbances recovery through two complementary thematic layers: a transition map and an annual change collection of 30 maps. Each disturbance is characterized by its timing (dates and duration), recurrence and intensity.
