Frequency distribution of tree cover in the boreal zone (45°N–70°N) in 500 × 500 m grid cells. There are four distinct modes corresponding to forest, dense savanna-like woodland, sparse savanna-like woodland, and a treeless state (tundra or steppe). Tree cover percentage values have been transformed through the arcsine-squared-root transformation.
