        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
