TREE COVER DENSITY
Technology description
The Tree Cover Density (TCD) layer uses Machine Learning and Sentinel-2 Multi Spectral Images to depict tree canopy cover percentage with a 10-meter resolution. It helps identify regions with varying tree canopy levels, aiding in the evaluation of deforestation, reforestation, urban planning, real estate, agriculture, and climate adaptation. This tool provides crucial insights into tree distribution patterns and supports sustainable development strategies.
Uses scenario
Evaluate tree canopy density and distribution to guide city development and monitor green infrastructure. This ensures the creation of sustainable urban environments with adequate green spaces.
Analyze areas with significant tree cover to assess land value and potential for premium property developments. High tree density areas are often more desirable for residential and commercial properties.
Monitor tree density in agricultural zones to balance open farmland and tree-covered areas, supporting better land management practices and biodiversity.
Understand tree distribution patterns related to local climate variations and adaptations. This data aids in climate studies and the development of strategies to mitigate climate change impacts.
Identify deforestation and reforestation patterns to prioritize conservation efforts and support sustainable forest management practices.
Tech basis
Map that offers high spatial resolution data on Tree Cover Density expressed in Percentage
Access high-resolution Land Surface Temperature (LST) data at 10-meter accuracy in Celsius (°C) with our tool.
The Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) layer assesses the Urban Heat Island effect, highlighting urban areas that are warmer than their rural surroundings.
The Albedo layer measures surface reflectivity, indicating the percentage of sunlight that is reflected into space.
The Heatwave Risk map integrates temperature data (hazard), population demographics (exposure), and area morphology (vulnerability) to generate a risk index ranging from 0 to 100.
The Park Cool Islands (PCI) layer distinguishes urban parks based on their cooling effects, categorizing them into Major and Minor Cool Islands.
The Microclimatic Performance Index (MPI) evaluates the effectiveness of Urban Green Infrastructure (UGI) in combating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect.
The Carbon Storage layer quantifies CO2 absorption by vegetation, offering a detailed view of nature's impact on atmospheric carbon reduction.
The Tree Cover Density (TCD) layer accurately depicts the percentage of an area covered by tree canopy, ranging from 0 to 100%.
