Reiko,
You could try something like this:
1. Merge all forests into a single file (if you haven't already);
2. Create a new field in the forests table called something like "border"
3. Create lines that trace the panel boundaries, that separate the
forests you want to join;
4. Buffer each of those lines by some small distance (try 1 meter);
5. For each buffer "Select by location" all features in forests that
intersect buffer;
6. Use the field calculator in the table to enter a unique identifier
for the selected features in the "border" field;
7. Do this for each buffer;
8. Dissolve the forest layer on the border field.
Feel free to get in touch.
Cheers,
Mike

Hello,
I have five shapefiles that contain thousands of fragmented forests that I
created from a NDVI raster of a large protected area in West Africa, which
I separated into five panels. Now, how do I stitch thousands of the
fragmented forests at the borders?
Each shapefile's attributes have ID, count (number of units), area, and
perimeter, so I can visually recognize which fragments need stitching, but
because there are so many, I don't think I can do it manually.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best wishes,
Reiko Matsuda Goodwin
