Figure 17: Global land-cover estimates of percentage tree cover, herbaceous cover, and bare ground. Global land-cover estimates of percentage tree cover, herbaceous cover, and bare ground within each 500-m by 500-m grid cell, derived from data acquired in 2001 by the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor onboard the Terra satellite platform.
