Trees

Satellite-derived Land Use / Land Cover computation of trees in 2020. Geospatially derived tree cover refers to information about areas of land that are covered by trees, such as forests, woodlands, and other areas with significant tree cover. This information is obtained using geographic information systems (GIS) technology, which allows for the creation of detailed maps and spatial datasets that can provide information about the location, extent, and characteristics of tree cover. These datasets are often used by researchers, governments, and organizations to monitor and manage forest resources, and to understand the impacts of changes in tree cover on the environment and local communities.
