Caveats / Comments

In this data set, “tree cover” is defined as all vegetation greater than 5 meters in height, and may take the form of natural forests or plantations across a range of canopy densities. “Loss” indicates the removal or mortality of tree cover and can be due to a variety of factors, including mechanical harvesting, fire, disease, or storm damage. As such, “loss” does not equate to deforestation. Improvements in the detection of tree cover loss due to the incorporation of new satellite data and methodology changes between 2011 and 2015 may result in higher estimates of loss in recent years compared to earlier years. See https://www.globalforestwatch.org/blog/data-and-research/tree-cover-loss-satellite-data-trend-analysis/ for more information. The emissions, removals, and net flux data are the products of modeling and thus have an inherent degree of error and uncertainty. Users are strongly encouraged to read and fully comprehend the metadata and other available documentation prior to data use. Gross removals and net flux reflect the annual averages over the model period of 2001-2023, not annual time series from which a trend can be derived. Emissions are from stand-replacing disturbances and do not include emissions from forest degradation. Emissions and removals reflect gross estimates, e.g., carbon emissions from any disturbance that occurs without accounting for regrowth. Thus, emissions and removals data must be used with particular caution and in conjunction with each other. Several inputs and constants for emissions, removals, and net flux were changed with the inclusion of 2022 and 2023's tree cover loss.
