WMS Service (Web Map Service) Most current Spanish Forest Map
Description
The Spanish Forest Map Web Service (MFE25_50) allows the visualisation and consultation of the data set of the Forest Map of Spain. The Forest Map of Spain (MFE) is the basic forest mapping at the state level, which includes the distribution of Spanish forest ecosystems. It is a project led by the General Directorate of Biodiversity, Forests and Desertification using a working methodology based on photointerpretation, with field verification. The MFE is a fundamental component of the Spanish Inventory of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity.
The MFE provides detailed and homogeneous vector information for the entire Spanish territory of the structural type or main use of each tesela, the degree of coverage and the main mapped tree species, among others. It constitutes the cartographic basis of the National Forestry Inventory (IFN), and therefore, analogous to the IFN, has a continuous character and a periodicity of updating at least ten years. The most current Spanish Forest Map is the result of the combination of the old MFE50 with the new provinces that are being generated from the MFE25.
