Data Sheet 1_Forest visitation and utilization along agricultural intensification gradient

A 51.6 KB dataset from figshare, last updated March 17, 2026, by author Ronju Ahammad. It analyzes the relationship between forest cover change, agricultural intensification, and household resource use, combining remote sensing and survey data from seven tropical landscapes in low and middle income countries.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of agricultural intensification on forest visitation based on remote sensing and survey data.
• Analyzing household use of forest-sourced food and materials in relation to forest type and edge density.
• Evaluating site-specific trends in forest ownership and demand for ecosystem services across intensification zones.
• Informing integrated landscape approaches for balancing agricultural production with forest conservation.

Strengths

• Data integrates remote sensing imagery with household surveys for a multi-method approach.
• Analysis covers seven distinct tropical landscapes, providing comparative context.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small (51.6 KB), suggesting it may contain summary or processed results rather than raw survey data.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data structure and quality require manual inspection after download.
