Forest patches 2018 based on Copernicus HRL Forest products - version 1, Jun. 2021
Description
This metadata refers to the raster dataset providing information about European forest patches in 2018 covering the EEA38 member states and the United Kingdom. The data show the extent and the location of these forest patches.
The methodology behind the dataset has been developed by JRC and is designed to provide a first overview and concise summary of the location and size class distribution of forest patches in a given forest map. The methodology provides a map product together with a statistical summary for a series of forest area classes. The forest area size classes can be used to describe the forest patch distribution at a given point in time, to directly compare the size distribution of different sites, as well as for temporal analysis which is of key importance in questions of landscape connectivity, restoration, risk assessment, habitat suitability and biodiversity studies (Vogt et al., 2019a, 2019b).
Details on the methodology, are described in Accounting-Manual, which is included in the GuidosToolbox software; Soille & Vogt, 2008.
