A Simple Algorithm for Large-Scale Mapping of Evergreen Forests in Tropical America, Africa and Asia

The areal extent and spatial distribution of evergreen forests in the tropical zones are important for the study of climate, carbon cycle and biodiversity. However, frequent cloud cover in the tropical regions makes mapping evergreen forests a challenging task. In this study we developed a simple an...
