Mapping spatio-temporal patterns in global tree cover heterogeneity: Links with forest degradation and recovery

Tree cover, which has been widely studied using various remote sensing techniques, serves an essential indicator of forest productivity and habitat quality. Spatial heterogeneity in tree cover has received less attention despite links with critical phenomena such as biodiversity, tree re-expansion i...
