Layer: Peru plantations by type (ID: 24)

Name: Peru plantations by type

Display Field: Image

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: This data set was created by Transparent World, with the support of Global Forest Watch. Many studies depicting forest cover and forest change cannot distinguish between natural forests and plantations. This data set attempts to distinguish tree plantations from natural forest for seven key countries: Brazil, Cambodia, Colombia, Indonesia, Liberia, Malaysia, and Peru. Given the variability of plantations and the spectral similarity to natural forests, this study used visual interpretation of satellite imagery, primarily Landsat, supplemented by high resolution imagery (Google Maps, Bing Maps, or Digital Globe) where available. Analysts hand-digitized plantation boundaries based on several key visual elements, including texture, shape, color, and size. For more information on the methodology used to produce this data set, see the forthcoming WRI Technical Note associated with this project.Each polygon is labelled with the plantation type (industrial plantation, medium-sized plantation mosaic with other land use, small-sized plantation mosaic with other land use, and clearings/ very young plantations) and when possible, the species. A “gr” in front of the species name indicates a group of species, such as pines or fruit. The percent of plantation coverage indicates a rough estimate of the prevalence of plantation within that polygon (as in the case of a mosaic).
