Multi-source national forest inventory (MS-NFI) raster maps of 2006

Estimates of variables in map form from multi-source national forest inventory (MS-NFI) for year 2006 by Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla). The estimates are calculated using field data from the Finnish national forest inventory, satellite images and other digital georeferenced data, such as topographic database of the National Land Survey of Finland. Nine sets of estimates have been produced for the most part of the country and eight sets for Lapland. These three themes have been produced for production of the CORINE2006. The products cover the combined land categories forest land, poorly productive forest land and unproductive land. The other land categories as well as water bodies have been delineated out using the elements of the topographic database of the Land Survey of Finland. Themes: * Stand mean height 2006 (dm) * Canopy cover 2006 (%) * Canopy cover of broad-leaved trees 2006 (%) The pixel value indicates the value of the theme variable except: * 254 is a missing value: the pixel belongs to forestry land but without satellite image cover * 255 is a null value: the pixel does not belong to forestry land or is outside of the country More information: [https://www.luke.fi/fi/seurannat/valtakunnan-metsien-inventointi-vmi](https://www.luke.fi/fi/seurannat/valtakunnan-metsien-inventointi-vmi)
