Spatial distribution of the estimated number of trees per ha in Rwanda and Tanzania in 2019.

Caption

Spatial distribution of the estimated number of trees per ha in Rwanda and Tanzania in 2019. (A) An example of 0.5-m-resolution Google basemaps in a rainforest area in Rwanda (Ai), and the corresponding estimated tree counts per ha (Aii). (B) Same as (A) but for an urban/built-up area in Kigali city in Rwanda. (C) Same as (A) but for a transitional area between forest and farmlands in Tanzania. Note that the presented values in the image are extrapolated from an original pixel size of 96 by 96 m2 (32 × 32 pixels of 3 m resolution) to 100 × 100 m2 (1 ha) resolution. Also, note that block-like patterns slightly visible in the Southwestern and Northeastern part of Tanzania reflect patch-based inference artifacts arising from fixed-size input windows, and do not represent abrupt changes in tree density.
