Extended Data Figure 5: Dynamics of tropical forest fragmentation in the Americas (FRAG-B model).

a, Spatial patterns of fragments for different snapshots in time, and b, fragment size distributions (green bars indicate values from the FRAG-B model, d_border = 0.995; solid black line denotes observation from remote sensing; fragment sizes ≥ 0.1 ha). The critical phase at which the spanning fragment disappears is indicated as ‘critical’. For each phase, a map of a selected subarea of 900 ha is shown (from the FRAG-B model, cleared sites are white and colours indicate fragment size; see Methods for details).
