Tropic Tree Cover • Forest • Tree Cover • Urban Tree Cover • Agricultural Tree Cover
The tropical tree cover data maps tree extent at a 10-meter scale and tree cover at a half-hectare scale to support accurate monitoring of trees in urban areas, agricultural lands, and open canopy or dry forest ecosystems.

The dataset covers 4.3 billion hectares across the global tropics.It is generated using multi-temporal convolutional neural network models applied to Sentinel optical and radar imagery.
The 10-meter dataset is a binary layer showing tree extent, similar to a land cover map, while the tree cover data shows fractional tree cover at a half-hectare resolution.
