Name Forest Type Map 2006
Note The Forest Type Map 2006 map is a 25m spatial resolution raster Pan-European Forest / Non Forest Map with target year 2006 derived from the Linear Imaging Self-Scanning Sensor 3 (LISS III), the two Satellites Pour l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT): SPOT4 and SPOT5, Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite imagery, and Corine Land Cover 2006 data. It includes the classes: Broadleaved Forest, Coniferous Forest, Non-forest, Water, Clouds/snow and no data.
