Mapping fractional woody cover in an extensive semi-arid woodland area at different spatial grains with Sentinel-2 and very high-resolution data
Woody canopy cover is an essential variable to characterize and monitor vegetation health, carbon accumulation and land–atmosphere exchange processes.Remote sensing-based global woody and forest cover maps are available, yet with varying qualities.In arid and semi-arid areas, existing global products often underestimate the presence of woody cove
