Details

Each dot marks a published tree coordinate. Inventory and reviewed records appear in ochre. Marks can overlap, and inventories can miss trees. Measuring canopy cover requires the area covered by tree crowns. The trees and water fade together near the edge. The count includes every record within the rectangular crop.

Deep green marks show automated aerial detections awaiting individual review. The key gives their count separately from inventory and reviewed records. About predictions · Non-commercial use.
