Forest Average Annual Change
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Forest Average Annual Change – Total is the net change in forests and includes expansion of forest plantations and losses and gains in the area of natural forests.
Description
Total Forest includes natural forests and forest plantations. The term is used to refer to land with a tree cover of more than 10 percent and area of more than 0.5 ha.
Forests are determined both by the presence of trees and the absence of other predominant land uses. The trees should be able to reach a minimum height of 5 m. Young stands that have not yet reached, but are expected to reach, a crown density of 10m percent and tree height of 5 m are included under forest, as are temporarily unstocked areas.

The term includes forests used for purposes of production, protection, multiple use or conservation (i.e. forest in national parks, nature reserves and other protected areas), as well as forest stands on agricultural lands (e.g. windbreaks and shelterbelts of trees with a width of more than 20 m) and rubberwood plantations and cork oak stands. The term specifically excludes stands of trees established primarily for agricultural production, for example fruit tree plantations.
It also excludes trees planted in agroforestry systems.
