The past few decades have seen high levels of deforestation and forest degradation in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region. In this context, under SERVIR Himalaya programme, ICIMOD has developed forest cover monitoring system to identify forest change hotspot areas which need critical forest management attention in four pilot areas. This forest loss data of Swath, Pakistan between 2010 and 2013 has been developed using LandSat 8 data in a semi-automated manner as part of the forest cover monitoring system.

This layer gives information about the impacts of decadal summer season albedo on forest ecosystems in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape.

Deforestation layer gives information about the dependence of local communities for deforestation on forest ecosystems in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape.

This layer gives information about the impacts of biomass on forest ecosystems in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape.

This layer gives information about the impacts of decadal summer season land surface temperature on forest ecosystems in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape.

This layer gives information about the impacts of decadal summer season gross primary product on forest ecosystems in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape.

At the watershed level, crown projection area (CPA) vs. basal area (BA) model was developed and validated. At the watershed level, for CPA delineation, region growing technique was adopted. GeoEye-1 images captured on 15 December, 2012 was used.

This layer gives information about the impacts of tree density on forest ecosystems in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape.
