Why does it fit well, and under which circumstances? Land is never covered
by trees alone. Trees are usually accompanied by bushes, grass and other
herbs, moss, algues, insects, etc.

Alternatively, all of these (including trees) could be considered part of
the land. In this case, landcover can only be hydrosphere and/or atmosphere.

So what's your definition of land and landcover?
