Dataset description

This dataset includes forest cover change data for village land in Tanzania (1987 - 2021) and biomass and species richness data for areas of natural forest regeneration. R and Google Earth Engine codes used in the analysis are also included.

This data is related to a paper undergoing peer review and may be subject to change (7th March 2023).
