Calculation of overlapping areas between trees and other vegetation

Query

While calculating the different types of green areas such as lawns, trees, shrubs; if the tree canopy is covering an entire patch of lawn area under it and also has shrubs and ground covers covered entirely then how can separate areas for these vegetation categories be calculated?

 

Solution

The area shaded under the tree will be considered under tree cover, irrespective of being planted with grass or shrubs. Please note that the shaded area must not be double counted.
