Continental estimates of forest cover and forest cover changes in the dry ecosystems of Africa between 1990 and 2000
This study provides regional estimates of forest cover in dry African ecoregions and the changes in forest cover that occurred there between 1990 and 2000, using a systematic sample of medium-resolution satellite imagery which was processed consistently across the continent. Keywords: Africa, continental-scale monitoring, deforestation, dry forests, land-cover change, Landsat, uncertainty, woodlands.
