Comparison of Sampling Designs for Estimating Deforestation from Landsat TM and MODIS Imagery: A Case Study in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Table 1

Deforestation error (%) estimated based on random sampling.

Sampling blocks	Random sampling region
	Study area	>0.1%*	>0.5%*	>1%*
100	29.43	7.28	9.35	31.17
350	13.52	4.76	24.12	29.33
500	4.40	8.13	26.84	34.10

The proportion means the MODIS-derived deforestation proportion in each block.
