Global Forest Fragmentation Change

Methodology
Fragmentation is assessed on a binary forest/non-forest map using MSPA (Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis) based
on Vogt et al. (2007) . This produces a four-class map with varying levels of degradation, as described in Shapiro et al.
(2016). The fragmentation class map is created for a forest map according to the following categories, using an edge
width of 300m: Core Forest, Inner Edge, Outer Edge, Fragment
Data description
Present forest and total deforestation (primary and secondary) and degradation (primary and secondary). Based on all-available data estimates: Alos F/NF, ESA CCI, MODIS VCF, MODIS IGBP
Indicator
