update histogram figure #63

Open teixeirak opened 3 weeks ago

teixeirak commented 3 weeks ago

@ValentineHerr , regarding changes to the histogram figure (pasted below for reference), I think it would be good to follow reviewer 1's suggestion of incorporating estimates of the area in each category. We could either: (1) add a second y-axis and have paired (thinner) bars showing the relative area in each category, or (2) divide by area in each category to get record density.

Option 1 provides more information and does not raise a problem with stand age (for which maps exist but are not reliable). Option 2 is more concise, but loses the raw numbers of records, which I do think is valuable. So, if option 1 seems doable to you, let's go with that.

@teixeirak, do we have a map of stand age? I don't recall where that would be if we do.

teixeirak commented 2 weeks ago

I don't think we've ever used a map of stand age, but there is one available: https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/13/4881/2021/. I wouldn't trust it to be super accurate, but I do see it as sufficient for this purpose.

I am downloading the data.

The invitation to contribute will be based on a draft manuscript/presentation with first results open enough to be discussed and changed on the basis of the feedbacks from Data providers.

@teixeirak the their are 4 estimates of stand age: without tree cover correction and with 10%, 20% or 30% tree cover correction.

do you have a strong idea about wich one to use? Here is a plot in the paper that compres no correctionvs 30% correction (which usually estimates the age higher) image

teixeirak commented 2 weeks ago

I don't know offhand/ would need to figure out how the corrections work. Do you understand how they work/ have an opinion as to which would be best?

teixeirak commented 2 weeks ago

I noticed that they used a 10% correction in Fig. 6. Perhaps follow that?
