Doggart, Nike and Mugasha, Wilson Ancelm and Mpiri, Aloyce and Morgan-Brown, Theron and Sallu, Susannah M and Spracklen, Dominick V (2023) Forest cover change Tanzania 1987 to 2021 & biomass data. University of Leeds. [Dataset] https://doi.org/10.5518/1295

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).
