Simulation of tropical forest fragmentation until 2100 0 11509

Project
The fragmentation of tropical forests
Description
Applying a percolation model, we simulated the potential dynamic of tropical forest fragmentation, assuming different deforestation scenarios (S1 - S5). We simulated each tropical continent starting with 100% forest and reduce every simulation year the forested area by a deforestation rate.

The simulation files contain for each simulation step following information:
nOccupiedCells - number of forested cells (one cell has the size of ~30x30m) [in number of cells]
nClusters - number of detected forest fragments [-]
meanClusterSizeChristensenWithoutSpanning - average size of all forest fragments without considering the spanning cluster (cf. percolation theory) [in number of cells]
meanClusterSize - average size of all forest fragments [in number of cells]
edgeAreaCalculated - total amount of edge area [in number of cells]

The percolation model (FRAG-B), model setting, and scenario setting are documented in the publication Fischer et al. (2021). Accelerated forest fragmentation leads to critical increase in tropical forest edge area. Science Advances
