This layer maps changes in forest canopy height over time, distinguishing areas of canopy growth from areas of height loss and stable forest. It is derived from the Resource Watch global forest height dataset (asset projects/resource-watch-gee/for_032_rw0_forest_height_extent) at 30 m resolution. Read it as a discrete classification: each pixel is coloured by its class of height change, so you can spot where forest has gained or lost stature.
The layer represents the change in forest canopy height, classifying each pixel as canopy growth, height loss or stable forest. Values come from the Resource Watch forest height product served through Google Earth Engine and are read by the ForestHeightChangeReader (module geo3bee.maps.map_int.hansen_forest).

The reader loads the Resource Watch forest height extent asset (projects/resource-watch-gee/for_032_rw0_forest_height_extent), selects its pre-classified remapped band, clips it to the site polygon and renders the discrete forest height change classes as a categorical map (no-forest pixels are masked out).
