Tree Cover Density 2020 (raster 10 m), pantropical, annual - version 1

This product is delivered by the Copernicus Global Land Cover and Tropical Forest Mapping and Monitoring service (LCFM), part of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS), and provides pantropical tree cover density data at 10-meter resolution for the year 2020.

The pan-tropical Tree Cover Density (TCD) product builds upon previous initiatives like the REDDCopernicus, EO4SD Forest Monitoring and CLMS HRL VLCC. It advances tropical forest monitoring capabilities, ensuring alignment with international sustainability initiatives and providing critical information for analysis and monitoring of deforestation and forest degradation.

The TCD-10 map layer provides the tree canopy density in terms of projective tree cover in percent per pixel for 2020 reference year in a discrete range between 0% to 100%. The TCD-10 product is hence a discrete classification map providing 10 classes, each covering a range of ten (10) percentage points of TCD.
