Woody encroachment and forest degradation in sub-Saharan Africa's woodlands and savannas 1982–2006

We review the literature and find 16 studies from across Africa's savannas and woodlands where woody encroachment dominates. These small-scale studies are supplemented by an analysis of long-term continent-wide satellite data, specifically the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time...
