Forest Degradation Mapping

Forest Degradation Mapping is a remote sensing-based analytical method that identifies and spatially characterizes the gradual reduction in forest quality, structure, or function due to anthropogenic or environmental stressors, distinguishing it from deforestation by focusing on sub-canopy changes and ecosystem decline without complete land cover transformation.
