Historical forest cover in the Kivu Rift (1958)

If you use this dataset, please refer to our work:<strong> Depicker, A., Jacobs, L., Mboga, N. <em>et al.</em> Historical dynamics of landslide risk from population and forest-cover changes in the Kivu Rift. <em>Nat Sustain</em> (2021). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-021-00757-9</strong> This .tif file represents the forest cover in the Kivu Rift in 1958, covering parts of the eastern DRC, western Rwanda, and western Burundi. The forest data was derived from 1 m resolution panchromatic historical aerial photographs (conserved at the Royal Museum for Central Africa) and resampled to a 30 m resolution. The data range from 0 to 1, representing the % of forest cover. Data smaller than 0 can be considered NoData values. This work was funded by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) through the PAStECA project (BR/165/A3/PASTECA) entitled `Historical Aerial Photographs and Archives to Assess Environmental Changes in Central Africa' (http://pasteca.africamuseum.be/).若使用本数据集，请引用下述研究成果：Depicker A、Jacobs L、Mboga N 等. 基伍裂谷地区人口与森林覆盖变化驱动的滑坡风险历史动态[J]. 《自然可持续性》（Nature Sustainability，缩写Nat Sustain）, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-021-00757-9 本.tif文件展示了1958年基伍裂谷地区的森林覆盖情况，覆盖区域涵盖刚果民主共和国（Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC）东部、卢旺达西部以及布隆迪西部的部分区域。该森林数据源自分辨率为1米的全色历史航空照片（保存于中非皇家博物馆），并被重采样至30米分辨率。数据取值介于0至1之间，代表森林覆盖百分比；数值小于0的可认定为无数据（NoData）值。本研究由比利时科学政策办公室（Belgian Science Policy Office, BELSPO）资助，通过PAStECA项目（项目编号：BR/165/A3/PASTECA）执行，该项目主题为「用于评估中非环境变化的历史航空照片与档案」（http://pasteca.africamuseum.be/）。
