SAT-FOREST

National forest resource map classifying forest polygons by tree type, age and volume at an aggregate level. \\nThe forest resource map is automatically derived from satellite imagery using ground data from the National Forest Inventory and clipped to forest areas in national land resource maps. \\nThe forest resource map is made in scale 1:50.000 with a geometric accuracy of 15 meters.

Supplemental Information
The forest resource map is derived from automatic interpretation of satellite imagery from Landsat 5 and 7. Ground verification data stems from the National Forest Inventory which has sample plots in a 3x3 km grid covering the whole of Norway. Terrain data from the national digital terrain model 10x10 is also used. Forest areas include all areas classified as forest in national land resource database at scale 1:5000.
