Table 1 Main fragmentation classes derived from Vogt et al. [51]
From: Using fragmentation to assess degradation of forest edges in Democratic Republic of Congo
Fragmentation class | Description | Level of fragmentation |
|---|---|---|
Core | Interior forest pixels far from forest edge | Low |
Inner edge | Forest pixel on edge of small interior non-forest | ↓ |
Outer edge | Pixels that are between forest and large non-forest areas | ↓ |
Patch | Forest regions too small to contain core forest | High |
