After looking over a lot of green areas in and around a few cities, I think some way of recording mixed landcovers, particularly grass&trees and scrub&trees, would be nice2have. A field of grass with a few trees is *=grass, an area of trees with grass underneath is *=trees, but in between a many areas of grass and/or scrub(s) with say 30-70% trees. Generally, from the air you would say it's all trees, while on the ground it's mainly grass with a lot of dark columns carrying a green roof blocking the sun.
