forest cover
Trees blanketing land
Forest cover is the extent of land area covered by forests, typically expressed as a percentage of total land.
The term appears in environmental discussions about deforestation, biodiversity, and climate: The region has lost 40% of its forest cover since 1990.
Forest cover serves as a key metric for tracking ecosystem health and carbon storage capacity.
