TL;DR: An analysis of global forest cover is conducted to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is within 1 km of the forest’s edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation, indicating an urgent need for conservation and restoration measures to improve landscape connectivity.

Global Characterization and Monitoring of Forest Cover Using Landsat Data: Opportunities and Challenges
John R. Townshend,Jeffrey G. Masek,Chengquan Huang,Eric Vermote,Feng Gao,Saurabh Channan,Joseph O. Sexton,Min Feng,Ramghuram Narasimhan,Do-Hyung Kim,Kuan Song,Dan-Xia Song,Xiao-Peng Song,Praveen Noojipady,Bin Tan,Matthew C. Hansen,Mengxue Li,Robert E. Wolfe +17 more
TL;DR: The methods to create global products of forest cover and cover change at Landsat resolutions are described and the creation and use of surface reflectance products, improved selection of scenes to reduce phenological differences, terrain illumination correction, and the use of information extraction procedures robust to errors in training data are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
High resolution analysis of tropical forest fragmentation and its impact on the global carbon cycle
Katharina Brinck,Katharina Brinck,Rico Fischer,Jürgen Groeneveld,Sebastian Lehmann,Mateus Dantas de Paula,Sandro Pütz,Joseph O. Sexton,Dan-Xia Song,Andreas Huth,Andreas Huth +10 more
TL;DR: High-resolution satellite maps of forest cover with estimates of the edge effect show that 19% of the remaining area of tropical forests lies within 100 m of a forest edge, representing 31% of currently estimated annual carbon releases due to tropical deforestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation policy and the measurement of forests
Joseph O. Sexton,Praveen Noojipady,Praveen Noojipady,Praveen Noojipady,Xiao-Peng Song,Min Feng,Dan-Xia Song,Do-Hyung Kim,Anupam Anand,Anupam Anand,Chengquan Huang,Saurabh Channan,Stuart L. Pimm,John R. Townshend +13 more
TL;DR: The authors showed that the major reason underlying this discrepancy is ambiguity in the term "forest" and proposed a new definition of "forest cover" based on uncertainty in the definition of forest.
