Description

Natural land resources in Brazil have been subject to strong pressure from agricultural expansion over the past two decades. This map identifies and classifies deforestation hotspots in the Southern American country. Moreover, it hints to land use change dynamics such as leakage effects in tropical areas. The map represents the period between 2005-2012, and classifies deforestation hotspots in three categories: a) reduced, b) increased, and c) new. Quality/Lineage: Land cover information from Global Forest Watch (https://data.globalforestwatch.org/) was used to identify deforested pixels per year. ArcGIS 10 was used to create spatial statistics of yearly information. R and RStudio were used to classify each grid cell as a hotspot and its type, and to convert the resulting cover information into a shapefile.

Expected crawler behaviour

Use a stable, truthful User-Agent with product/version and a working contact URL. Across all IP addresses and HTTP connections used by one crawler identity, allow no more than 5 requests in flight and wait at least 20 seconds between request starts. Crawl URLs listed in the catalog sitemap, including file pages and download URLs when they are published, use conditional requests, honor Retry-After, and apply exponential backoff after errors.

The welcome page may link to the interactive repository for human navigation. Automated clients must not treat that human link as a catalog crawl target.

Read the live machine-readable crawler policy before and during a crawl. Stop crawling when it reports CPU or memory utilization at or above 80% and 80% respectively.
