Abstract

1 Introduction

2 Comparison of Forest Area 1990 derived from FRA1990 respectively FRA2000
2.1. Starting point for comparing Forest Area 1990
2.2. Comparison of Area90_FRA1990 and Area90_FRA2000.
2.3 Summing up the 1990 area comparison.

3 Comparison of Forest Area Change FRA 1990 - FRA 2000
3.1 Starting points
3.2. Comparison of AreaChange_FRA1990 and AreaChange_FRA2000.

3.2.1 Regional / Subregional summary of annual net forest area change FRA 1990 - FRA 2000

4 Analysis of Results
4.1 Effect of increased Area90 on forest cover change estimates
4.2 Effect of changed definitions on Forest Area and Forest Area Change
4.3 Effect of Adjustments on Forest Area Change.
4.4 Effect of Improved Data on Forest Area Change Estimates

4.4.1 Non availability of AreaChange_FRA1990.
4.4.2 AreaChange_FRA1990 generated by Deforestation Model
