Documentation for the PathFinder pan-European Collection

This dataset provides documentation for the PathFinder pan-European Collection, which contains 10 m spatial resolution European-wide forest maps for 18 forest attributes for the year 2020 and for three attributes for 2024, as well as cloud free 2024 Sentinel-2 composite images. The maps integrate Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, auxiliary geospatial layers, and National Forest Inventory (NFI) data to deliver detailed forest attribute predictions across Europe. The map supports applications in forest management, biomass estimation, carbon accounting, and ecological modeling.
