Tree cover refers to the land area occupied by trees, including natural forests and man-made plantations. It is typically measured as the total land area and is an essential indicator of environmental health, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Tree cover provides numerous ecological benefits, such as carbon sequestration, soil stabilization, water cycle regulation, and habitat for wildlife. It also contributes to human well-being by offering shade, improving air quality, and supporting livelihoods through timber and non-timber forest products. Changes in tree cover, whether due to deforestation, afforestation, or urbanization, have significant implications for climate change, land use, and biodiversity conservation. Monitoring tree cover helps understand the extent of forest degradation, restoration efforts, and sustainable land management practices. Global initiatives like reforestation programs aim to increase tree cover to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change and enhance ecosystem resilience.
