humid vs. dry tropics #66

Closed robinkraft closed 12 years ago

robinkraft commented 12 years ago

At one time we used the boundary of the humid tropical biome to screen out pixels. Currently I only see screening by VCF value. So I have to assume that we are hitting some of the non-humid tropical forests in the countries we're looking at. I don't want to add yet another step to the workflow just yet, but since we're proposing to focus just on the humid tropics, for the paper at least we might want to consider postprocessing that would eliminate pixels with ecoids that aren't subsets of the humid tropical biome.

We should at least look at the difference in accuracy inside and outside the biome to see whether accuracy assessment of the paper will be skewed by this.

Good point. We can do this fairly quickly, once everything is up and running. Thanks.

CartoDB query for all ecoregions in the humid tropical biome. The humid tropical biome has id 1, per WWF page and checked via CartoDB map.
