Fragment list of tropical forest fragmentation 2000 + 2010 0 11508

Project
The fragmentation of tropical forests
Description
We analyzed the dynamics of forest fragmentation for the entire tropics using high-resolution forest cover maps. Applying a cluster detection algorithm, we measured every forest fragment in the tropics for the years 2000 and 2010.

The cluster list contains following information for each forest fragment:
Area_p - size of the fragment [number of pixels]
Area_m2 - size of the fragment [m2]
Edge_m - length of edge [m]
Long - longitude
Lat - latitude
ID - fragment number

Description of the data sources, visualization of the data and methodological description of the data processing, are in the publication Fischer et al. (2021). Accelerated forest fragmentation leads to critical increase in tropical forest edge area. Science Advances
