Accuracy Assessments of Local and Global Forest Change Data to Estimate Annual Disturbances in Temperate Forests

Accuracy Assessments of Local and Global Forest Change Data to Estimate Annual Disturbances in Temperate Forests

Forest disturbances are generally estimated using globally available forest change maps or locally calibrated disturbance maps. The choice of disturbance map depends on the trade-offs among the detection accuracy, processing time, and expert knowledge. However, the accuracy differences between globa...
