Fragmentation is the main driver of residual forest aboveground biomass in West African low forest-high deforestation landscapes

Tropical forests play a crucial role in climate regulation due to their high carbon sequestration capacity. However, degradation and disturbances in these forests may result in significant carbon losses. This study focuses on the impact of various biophysical, anthropogenic, and landscape factors on...
