           <p>The definition of the word “forest” differs from region to region and country to country based on different objectives such as management, land use, vegetation type, composition, and altitude. As such, there are over 800 definitions worldwide (Lund 2002). Here, we present two global sources of forest area data for the tropical countries included on GFW Climate.</p>
  -        <h3>Tree cover for the year 2000</h3>
  -        <p>“Percent tree cover” is defined as the density of tree canopy coverage of the land surface within a 30 m (0.09 ha) pixel. Data were generated using multispectral satellite imagery from the Landsat 7 thematic mapper plus (ETM+) sensor. The clear surface observations from over 600,000 images were analyzed using Google Earth Engine, a cloud platform for earth observation and data analysis, to determine per pixel tree cover using a supervised learning algorithm. 30 x 30 meter pixels were aggregated to estimate the area of tree cover at the relevant scale of analysis (national, subnational, etc.). On GFW Climate, a user can adjust the minimum tree canopy density threshold for what defines a forest at a value between 10% and 30% and the area of tree cover will update accordingly to reflect the new forest definition.</p>
  -        <h3>Forest area for the year 2000</h3>
  -        <p>National forest area statistics for the year 2000 are reported by countries to the Food and Agriculture Organization every as part of . Forests are defined based on national land use classifications, with a minimum threshold of 0.5 ha land area, trees over 5 meters and a 10% minimum canopy cover. A summary of source data used by countries in FAO reporting on forest area can be found (here).</p>

          <p>Carbon emissions from deforestation reflect the carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere as a result of forest biomass clearing, and country level estimates are commonly expressed in units of carbon (Tg) or carbon dioxide (Mt CO2). For tropical forested countries, most emission estimates are derived using IPCC Guidelines for (Tier 1 accounting) by multiplying an estimate of the area of deforestation by an estimate of the biomass carbon of the deforested area, and these are assumed to be “committed” emissions to the atmosphere. Carbon sequestration from growing vegetation after clearing is generally excluded from large-scale carbon assessments; this requires additional information on the fate of the cleared land, which is often lacking. Emissions from tropical organic (peat) soils in Southeast Asia are also either excluded or reported separately; estimates are available on GFW Climate as separate indicators.</p>
          <h3>Carbon emissions from gross tree cover loss</h3>
          <p>Estimates are based on the co-location of aboveground biomass carbon density values for the year 2000 with annual tree cover loss data from 2001 through 2014 at 30 m spatial resolution. Emissions associated with other carbon pools such as belowground biomass and soil carbon are excluded. Loss of biomass, like loss of tree cover, may occur for many reasons, including deforestation, fire, and logging within the course of sustainable forestry operations. For DRC, Indonesia and Malaysia, emissions are further disaggregated to approximate those from deforestation consistent with Zarin et al. (2015). On GFW Climate, a user can adjust the minimum tree canopy density threshold for what defines a forest at a value between 10% and 30%, and carbon emission estimates will update accordingly to reflect the new forest definition.</p>
