REDD+: The Opportunity for Sustainable Management in Zagros Forests

This file contains tables and figures related to REDD+ project research in the Zagros forests of Iran that aimed to evaluate the changes of forest cover of Lordegan cities located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran using forest cover maps produced from Landsat satellites 5, 7 and 8 belonging to 1998, 2008 and 2018. Then, the potential for forest cover transfer to non-forest regions was modeled to identify the regions subject to deforestation using logistic regression model and Markov chain was used to predict changes. In addition, receiver operating characteristics (ROC) were used for validation..
