Global tropical dry forest

We present a new global distribution map of tropical dry forest derived from the recently developed MODIS Vegetation Continuous Fields (VCF) product, which depicts percentage tree cover at a resolution of 500m, combined with previously defined maps of biomes. This distribution map was overlaid wi...
