European Forest Type Map

Description

The presentation is about the first consistent map of European Forest Types (EFTs), developed to support forest monitoring, biodiversity assessment, and climate change analysis across Europe. Using JRC tree-species probability maps and multiple forest masks, a rule-based expert system classified forests into 14 EFT categories at 100 m resolution. The resulting EFT map provides a harmonised framework for reporting forest indicators, understanding ecosystem diversity, and supporting forest management, adaptation, and mitigation strategies within European and international monitoring frameworks.
