Forest Type 2018 - Present (raster 10m), Europe, 3-yearly, Nov. 2024

The High Resolution Layer Forest Type (FTY) provides a forest classification with 3 thematic classes (all non-forest areas / broadleaved forest / coniferous forest) at 10m spatial resolution and with a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 0.5 ha. This raster layer is largely following the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations) forest definition with tree covered areas in agricultural and urban context excluded using the respective Forest Additional Support Layer (FADSL).

This dataset is provided on a 3-yearly frequency in 10 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries.

High Resolution Layer Tree Cover and Forest product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service.

This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)
