SAT-FOREST - Forest age

Forest age grouped into three classes: Young forest (0 til 40 years); Older forest (41 til 80 years); Old forest (above 80years). National forest resource map classifying forest by tree type, age and volume at an aggregate level.

The forest resource map consists of forest polygons automatically derived from satellite imagery using ground data from the National Forest Inventory and clipped to areas classified as forest in the national land resource map AR5. The forest resource map is made in scale 1:50.000 with a geometric accuracy of 15 meters.

Supplemental Information: The forest resource map is derived from automatic interpretation of satellite imagery from Landsat 5 and 7. Ground verification data stems from the National Forest Inventory which has sample plots in a 3x3 km grid covering the whole of Norway. Terrain data from the national digital terrain model 10x10 is also used. Forest areas include all areas classified as forest in national land resource database at scale 1:5000.
