Table 7. Average annual losses of undisturbed TMF areas (in million hectares) due to annual degradation before deforestation, from 1990 to 2020 over intervals of 5 years, 30 years (1990–2019), 20 years (2000–2019), and 10 years (1990–1999, 2000–2009, and 2010–2019) by subregion and continent.
The values appearing in italic indicate those derived from an average percentage of invalid observations (Table 9) higher than 40%.
