Name High Resolution Layer - Forest Type
Note The Forest Type layer has a MMU of 0.5 ha, as well as a 10% tree cover density threshold applied and thus largely following the FAO forest definition available for the 2012 and 2015 reference years at 20m spatial resolution, for the 2018 and 2021 reference year at 10m spatial resolution, and in European projection. Additionally, an aggregated product at 100m is available for 2015, 2018 and 2021 reference years.
