Caution:
This dataset uses a different definition of a tree and a different definition of tree cover than does Hansen et al. (2013).
This dataset defines a tree according to both the height and crown diameter. Woody vegetation higher than 5 meters regardless of crown diameter, or between 3 and 5 meters with a minimum crown diameter of 5 meters is considered a tree. This definition is different from Hansen et al. (2013) which defines a tree as any vegetation at least 5 meters in height.
The tropical tree cover dataset does not disambiguate plantation trees from non-plantation trees.
Analyses or statistics derived over spatial regions smaller than 0.5 ha may not be accurate.JPEGSVG
