Deforestation dataset of the Hyrcanian Forests

The data provided here support the manuscript titled "Spatially explicit machine learning reveals province-specific drivers of deforestation in the Hyrcanian forests", submitted to Ecological Informatics. This dataset comprises: Three CSV files containing input data for machine learning models used to analyze spatial relationships between deforested areas and various geoenvironmental variables. A folder titled "Sites' Boundaries" with three shapefiles representing the geographic boundaries of the study sites. A folder titled "Rasters" containing raster-format maps that depict deforestation susceptibility across the study sites. For any questions regarding the dataset, please contact Saeid Shabani ([e-mail]) or Abolfazl Jaafari ([e-mail]).
