The impact of climate change on the environment, biosphere, and biodiversity has become
more evident in the recent years. Human activities have increased atmospheric …

The area of land covered by forest and trees is an important indicator of environmental
condition. This study presents and analyses results from the Global Forest Resources …

For the period 1996-2010, we provide the first indication of the drivers behind mangrove
land cover and land use change across the (pan-) tropics using time-series Japanese Earth …

Dryland biomes cover two-fifths of Earth's land surface, but their forest area is poorly known.
Here, we report an estimate of global forest extent in dryland biomes, based on analyzing …

Increasing population and consumption are placing unprecedented demands on agriculture
and natural resources. Today, approximately a billion people are chronically malnourished …

The main objective of our study was to provide consistent information on land cover changes
between the years 1990 and 2010 for the Cerrado and Caatinga Brazilian seasonal biomes …

We estimate changes in forest cover (deforestation and forest regrowth) in the tropics for the
two last decades (1990–2000 and 2000–2010) based on a sample of 4000 units of 10× 10 …

Monitoring protected areas and their surrounds at local to regional scales is essential given
their vulnerability to anthropogenic pressures, including those associated with climatic …

Collect Earth is a free and open source software for land monitoring developed by the Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Built on Google desktop and …

Aboveground tropical tree biomass and carbon storage estimates commonly ignore tree
height (H). We estimate the effect of incorporating H on tropics-wide forest biomass …
