Several parameters can be calculated using this tool including the core area of forests, the islets within forests, the loop areas within a forest (being the areas that are connected from different sides to the same forest core area), the bridges within forests (being connected to forest core from different places and to different core areas within a forest), the forest perforation being the internal foreground forest perimeter, and the forest edge being the external foreground forest perimeter, and the forest branches being connected to any of the previous morphological parameters but not to the core of a forest.\n\nMore details are available in the final report:\n\nhttp://forum.eionet.europa.eu/etc-urban-land-and-soil-systems/library/action-plan-2016/1.8.3.5-follow-partner-regional-conventions/carpathian-convention/deliverables/forest-indicators-support-regional-policy-and-management-carpathian/download/en/1/ETC_ULS_1835_Carpathian_final%20report_summarized_UMA_FINAL_lo.docx\n", "summary": "The forest fragmentation indicator detects and describes the geometry and the connectivity of forests coverage.
