Proportions of forest cover within all sample sites over the tree continents for year 2010.

Losses of forest cover and other wooded land for all sample sites over the tree continents and the two periods: 1990–2000 and 2000–2010. Gross loss of forest cover appears in orange circles when gross loss from other woodland losses appears in yellow circles. Range is 0–100% loss over one decade.

Gross carbon losses from forest cover and Other Wooded Land (OWL) losses for all sample sites over the tree continents and the two decades: 1990–2000 and 2000–2010 (3 × 2 panels). Red color means that 100% of carbon losses are due to forest losses when blue color mean than 100% of carbon losses are due to OWL losses.

Continental charts showing (from left to right): (a) area of forest cover (green) and other wooded land (orange) for year 2010 in million ha, (b) annual gross loss of forest cover for 1990s (pink) and 2000s (red) in million ha yr⁻¹ and (c) annual gross loss of carbon losses from changes in forest cover and other wooded land for 1990s (light blue) and 2000s (dark blue) with removals from forest regrowth (yellow) in million tC yr⁻¹. Ranges represent statistical standard error for (a) and (b) and maximum–minimum estimates for (c).
