Dataset description

Using PlanetScope data Reiner et al. (2023) have developed the most detailed tree cover map of Africa. Their "prototype map of 2019 ... reveals that 29% of tree cover is found outside areas previously classified as tree cover in state-of-the-art maps, such as in croplands and grassland". This is a 100 m resolution map of % tree canopy cover per pixel for Africa in 2019. Tree cover values range from 0-100 % and nodata areas are masked as -1.

Hi @SFrav Can you provide a link to the original paper linked to this zenodo dataset? I cannot seem to find it

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Sure, it was published in Nature earlier this year. Here's the link: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-37880-4

@samapriya, just following up on this: is this contribution enough to get access to the Insider program? I would like to make use of the MS Bing Mined Roads dataset as a mask in an analysis of agricultural lands. I see that you are the curator of the dataset. I applied for the insider program at the same time as submitting this suggestion. Thanks.
