# Forest Landscape Integrity Index

WCS — version 1.0

## Description

This dataset quantifies forest landscape integrity index (FLII) at 300 m spatial resolution, with global spatial coverage for the year 2019. FLII is a score that quantifies human impact on forest integrity, where higher values indicate less human impact.

## Summary

- **ID:** 03f5ee4b-2419-4c79-bb44-5f838e43a977
- **Type:** Raster
- **CRS:** EPSG:4326
- **Spatial coverage:** Global
- **Spatial resolution:** 300 m
- **Temporal coverage:** 2019
- **Temporal resolution:** 

## Usage notes

FLII is a conservative index that may overestimate forest integrity due to data limitations. Forest is defined broadly (woody vegetation > 5 m height, > 20% canopy cover) and includes natural forests, tree plantations, agroforestry, and tree crops. Aggregation of 30 m forest cover data to 300 m resolution can reclassify sparse forest as non-forest. Impacts on forests before 2000 are not captured due to temporal coverage of input data. Impacts from human infrastructure may be underestimated due to missing input data. Impacts from climate change, invasive species, and anthropogenic fires are not included.

## Variables

### integrity_score
- **Type:** float32
- **NoData:** -9999
Forest landscape integrity index (FLII) score. Data is generated from multi-step calculations made on datasets of forest cover and a range of observed and diffuse human pressures.

## Pricing

This dataset has no data acquisition cost.
