Short summary
The study introduces the high-resolution global forest disturbance dataset for 2000–2020. Key drivers of forest cover changes are forestry activities (44 %), shifting cultivation (24 %), and forest fires (11 %). Both human activities and natural events widely impact forest ecosystems, with regional differences across tropical, temperate, and boreal zones. Forest fires concentrated in Siberia and North America; and shifting cultivation dominant in tropical areas.
