### Tree cover

Currently, Google Earth Engine has several tree cover datasets in the catalogue,
including the Global Forest Change (GFC) (year 2000) and GLCF: Landsat Tree
Cover Continuous Fields (2000, 2005, and 2010). Here, we use the Global Forest
Change dataset.
We need a tree cover map to start this analysis. It is important to select a tree
cover map that is appropriate for the purpose and scope of your research. In this
tutorial, we select one from the Google Earth Engine catalogue, which currently
has several tree cover datasets, including the Global Forest
Change (GFC) (year 2000) and GLCF: Landsat Tree Cover Continuous Fields
(2000, 2005, and 2010). Here, we use the Global Forest Change dataset. Note that
the dataset is not intended for inter-year comparison because of variation in
methods to produce the data; the dataset is used here to demonstrate analyses and
introduce Earth Engine concepts and not rigorous or valid interpretation of
results.
