The Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla) developed the so-called national forests multi-source Inventory (MVMI) and introduced in the year 1990. Using terrain data, satellite images and other numerical geospatial data production of municipality-specific forest resource estimates and map format forest resources information. Most of the country has produced 6 comprehensive map theme set and Lapland 5. In the latest 2011 inventory, there are 45 the theme, in addition to volumes of timber species, by tree species and tree-stratified biomasses. The first product in the whole country was produced. 1990-1994; the latest ones are from 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011. Metla decided in November 2012 to put forward the 2009 map-shaped themes to be shared openly and the results for 2011 are another a set of maps for free distribution. New themes in the future produced every one or two years. The data in the form of maps are: in raster form, 20mx20m in the ETRS-TM35FIN coordinate system, and covers forestry land (from NMI land categories to forest, goatland and wasteland). Here in the data, other land and water areas are excluded using the terrain database elements which correspond mainly to the non-forestry categories of the NFI, Kitty and wasteland.
