Extended Data Fig. 1: Schematic of edge effects characterization.
From: Fire enhances forest degradation within forest edge zones in Africa
Scale of the edge effects is the distance (km) where the biomass equals p % of the estimated biomass of interior forest (p=90 in this study). Magnitude is the difference (%) of biomass between interior forest and forest edge. We used d km away from the edge in practice to avoid negatives due to bad fittings. d=0.015 km is used in this study and d=0.232 km is used for the comparison with Chaplin-Kramer et al. (Supplementary Discussion 1).
