*European tree species map released -*European Forest Institute (EFI) in 
cooperation with Alterra / Wageningen University has released a set of 
1x1 km tree species maps showing the distribution of 20 tree species 
over Europe. Basic dendrometric data were kindly received for 260,000 
national forest inventory plot locations from 17 countries to compile 
these maps. Forest plot data collected in a European-wide network (ICP 
Level I) have been used to extend the available data for the remaining 
European countries. Furthermore, forest inventory statistics have been 
applied. Never before, such harmonized maps were available at the 
European scale, at this level of detail. These maps will be important 
for future resource analyses, and e.g. carbon analysis. More details on 
the mapping method are provided in a scientific article by Brus et al. 
2011 '*/Statistical mapping of tree species over Europe'/*, European 
Journal of Forest Research Vol. 131 (1): 145--157. For full
