Correction to: Communications Earth & Environment https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-026-03524-w, published online 23 April 2026
In the version of this article initially published, there were several typographical errors. In Figs. 2b–d and 3d, the top labels now reading “80°E–140°E” appeared originally as “80°N–140°N.” In the Methods “Forest fragmentation dynamics across multiple spatial scales” section, in the last sentence, now reading “The original fine scale subdivisions were aggregated into broader, internationally recognizable climate categories, including tropical (MPZ, ETZ),” “ETZ” appeared as “MPZ.” The figure and text are now amended in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
