MapBiomas Degradation Module BETA - Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD)

This document outlines the theoretical concepts and methods employed to create yearly maps of areas of native vegetation susceptible to degradation in Brazil from 1985 to 2022, for each degradation vector of the MapBiomas Degradation Collection BETA. All the products were based on the MapBiomas Collection 8 and MapBiomas Fire Collection 2. All the codes used to build the database are accessible in the GitHub repository (github.com/mapbiomas-brazil/degradation).
