Extended Data Fig. 8: Schematic of different types of forests and edges.
From: Fire enhances forest degradation within forest edge zones in Africa
Hierarchical structure of pixels is described in Supplementary Methods. β values were averaged over fire- and non-fire edges separately in the same 0.25° grid cell, and Δβ (fire minus non-fire) was used as indicator of indirect fire impact on edge effects. The fire distance was used as an indicator of the direct impact of fires on edge effects. The median distance that fire burns into forests of forest pixels with fire edges (MF and DF) was used for each 0.25° grid cell.
