Basal area (BA) map for 2020

DOI

This dataset provides a high-resolution (10 m) pan-European map of forest Basal area (BA) for the year 2020, along with an accompanying standard deviation layer. It is part of the PathFinder collection of forest structure maps, which integrates 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.
