This data set presents a classification of African closed moist
tropical forest for Burundi.
The Africa Closed Moist Tropical Forest Database, Burundi
File: BURVEG.E00 code: 110001-001
Vector Member
The file is in Arc/Info Export format and should be imported with the
Arc/Info command Import cover In-Filename Out-Filename.
REMARK: The export files include annotation. however it is not
possible to import the files with it. We had to edit in the export
file (E00) just before the annotation the TXT command had to be
changed in TX8. The annotations are then lost but the file can import
without problems. The Africa Closed Moist Tropical Forest dataset is
a compilation of national maps into comparable units by the World
Conservation and Monitoring Centre (WCMC) in Great-Britain. The maps
were taken for each country for Africa from national maps and legend
units were grouped to come upto 13 classes, describing forest types.
