Side note: I'd not previously seen the graph of long-term history of forested land fraction. Although I suspect versions of it are out and about, yours is clear and well done. (Thanks for anchoring the y-axis at 0%!) I knew forested land had rebounded for a while (with agricultural decline) but was unaware that its renewed decline dates back to 1970. A geographical breakdown of this by region would be enlightening.
One minor complaint: It would be nice to know the source of the data for this graph (e.g. parenthetical info in its caption.....)
Thank you!
