Land use transitions and related data needs to estimate carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. Full carbon accounting requires data for the rate (R) of area change and associated changes in carbon stocks (ΔC) for deforestation (D), forest degradation (L), and regrowth (R). All forest lands must meet minimum height (h), crown cover (CC), and area (A) requirements, according to each country's national forest definition. Solid arrows represent primary transitions from forest to non-forest or degraded forest lands; dashed arrows represent secondary land-use transitions.
