Deforestation events (≥ 20 ha) in northern Australia from 2014 to 2021, version 2

Deforestation events (≥ 20 ha) generated from SLATS (Queensland Government generated woody vegetation loss maps) in Queensland, from 2014/2015 to 2019/2020 and deforestation events (≥ 20 ha) generated from the Australian government's NCAS dataset in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, from 2015 to 2021. All NCAS deforestation events were further validated using high resolution satellite imagery. Deforestation events were then investigated to see if they were relevant to a particular law, and if so, had they been assessed under that law, were they compliant under an explicit exemption of that law or were they potentially non-compliant. This is the updated version of the original dataset (https://doi.org/10.48610/9c8da2c).

2014/2015至2019/2020年间，昆士兰州范围内基于SLATS（昆士兰州政府生成的木质植被损失地图）生成的面积≥20公顷的森林砍伐事件，以及2015至2021年间北领地与西澳大利亚州范围内基于澳大利亚政府NCAS数据集生成的面积≥20公顷的森林砍伐事件。所有基于NCAS生成的森林砍伐事件均通过高分辨率卫星影像完成了进一步验证。随后对全部森林砍伐事件开展调查，以判定其是否关联特定法律法规；若关联，则进一步核查其是否已依据该法律完成评估、是否符合该法律的明确豁免条款，或存在潜在违规情形。本数据集为原始数据集的更新版本（https://doi.org/10.48610/9c8da2c）。
