Figure 4: The global map of tree density at the 1-km2 pixel (30 arc-seconds) scale.
a, The scale refers to the number of trees in each pixel. b, c, We highlight the map predictions for two areas (South American Andes (b) and Sardinia (c)) and include the corresponding images for visual comparison. All maps and images were generated using ESRI basemap imagery. d, A scatterplot as validation for our broad-scale estimates of total tree number. This shows the relationship between our predicted tree estimates and reported totals for regions with previous broad-scale tree inventories (see Methods for details). The straight line and the dotted line are the predicted best fit line and the 1:1 line, respectively.
