New publication in Nature

This is the first study to map the crown diameter of more than 1.8 billion trees across an area of more than 1,300,000 square kilometers in West Africa. The research team – led by Martin Brandt from University of Copenhagen – mapped how tree crown diameter, coverage, and density varied depending on rainfall and land use.
