Fig. S7 in Supplementary Material for The global tree restoration potential

Fig. S7. Global forest restoration potential. The global potential forest cover is illustrated on (A), representing an area of 8.7 billion hectares of forest cover. Forests are defined as pixels with a forest cover ≥ 10%. The global potential forest cover available for restoration is illustrated in (B) using cropland from Globcover and in (C) using Cropland from Fritz and colleagues (2015). These are calculated from the global potential forest cover (A) subtracting existing forest cover and removing agricultural and urban areas. This global tree restoration potential represents an area of 1.8 billion hectares of forest (Globcover; Table S2) or of 1.7 billion hectares of forest (Fritz and colleagues (2015); Table S2).
