Hi, I was only referring to the "conifer for for Evergreen" comment - no ideas about the other areas but I just thought that I should point out that conifer for Evergreen seemed correct:) As I just said - no ideas about other areas - but are the cases where you're getting incorrect tree types consistent? That is, when you fly over geographically different areas of 'ShrubCover/ShrubGrassCover/ScrubCover' do you always get Mixed Forest and when you fly over different 'DeciduousNeedleCover' areas do you always get Shrub, or does it vary (randomly) and is it sometimes correct?
