Geo-ForPy - Forest Cover per District in the Paraguayan Chaco - 1986-2020

This product is a vector file of the districts of the Paraguayan Chaco. It contains information on the forest cover within each district for the years 1986 until 2020. Hence, this product aggregates the information of 34 annual forest maps of the Paraguayan Chaco to a district level and provides the basis for further analysis as conducted in the following publication: https://doi.org/10.3390/f13010025

Pass: true

Statement: This data set provides 34 years of forest cover changes in the Paraguayan Chaco, broken down by districts. All information is given in square meter. The forest cover per distict was derivated from the forest masks (1986 – 2020) which are a product of the Geo-ForPy project.

Description

Processing:

To calculate the forest cover per district, the district shape file was intersected with the forest areas of the annual forest masks and the area of intersection was calclulated.

Quality Assurance:

The underlying forest masks have overall accuracies between 85% and 97%. Missclassifications directly affect the calculated forest area.
