Those who monitor global #forest cover, or have any other interest in global #forests should mask global non-forest areas such as #GrassyBiomes by using resources such as the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology (https://www.iucn.org/resources/conservation-tool/iucn-global-ecosystem-typology) or the RESOLVE Ecoregions 2017© biomes map (https://ecoregions.appspot.com/). They are much better than the global #treecover / #treeheight maps that so many use.
