TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a new approach that uses regional/continental MODIS derived forest cover products to calibrate Landsat data for exhaustive high spatial resolution mapping of forest cover and clearing in the Congo River Basin.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified forest cover and forest cover loss for the last decade, 2000-2010, using Landsat time-series data set, which was made possible via an exhaustive mining of the Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM++) archive.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive assessment of Paraguay's forest cover change from the 1970s to the 2000s using Landsat observations was conducted, including a wall-to-wall mapping of changes across the whole country between the 1990s and 2000s, and an assessment of forest area in the Atlantic Forest ecoregion using a systematic sampling approach.

TL;DR: Using Landsat images acquired since early 1970s, the authors have mapped the forest cover and change between 1989 and 2000, and estimated forest area in 1973 in Paraguay's Atlantic Forest Ecoregion (PAFE).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Landsat data to generate tropical forest cover maps in the Pan-Amazon region covering Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia and showed that while rates of forest loss are generally lower than those in Brazil, there are hot spots where deforestation rates run as high as 2,200 km2 yr1.
