Data from: GEDI reveals decline in overstorey and increase in understorey canopy cover of protected forests in Central Europe since 2019

This dataset shows the annual change in overstorey and understorey canopy cover of protected forests in Central Europe from 2019 to 2023. It is generated using the GEDI canopy cover profile and Hansen forest loss data (Hansen et al., 2013). Details of this dataset will be published in "GEDI reveals decline in overstorey and increase in understorey canopy cover of protected forests in Central Europe since 2019".
