Objectives
1. to identify a limited number of datasets for
input to the EFIS
2. to prepare metadata records for Internet-, PC
based datasets
3. to provide and prepare actual sample
datasets available through the EFIS system

Common sub-set of NFI data
Provide data separately for:
• Administrative regions within each country (data provider to choose
at what level; ~5-30 regions)
• Forest types (free choice, preferably species related; ~3-10 types)
• Age classes (0-20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, 81-100, 100+; also ‘irregular
stands’
Parameters in the core datasets
•
•
•
•
•
Total land area
Total forest area
Total volume for each main species (including a class ”other”)
Total increment (per year) for each main species
Total number of stems for each main species (above a countryspecific threshold)
• Average site quality
NOTE: Each of the above bullets will be one table (with a separate
metadata description)
Common sub-set of NFI data
Examples of parameters in optional datasets
• The same tables for 1-2 previous time points
• Tables of other features according to the same structure, e.g. dead
wood volume
• Maps presenting specific features for the entire country
• Graphs showing the development over time for specific features
• Data for individual plots
General issues:
• Use the most recent data
• Definitions of parameters will vary. Definitions should be included in
metadata description of the dataset or link given to an [accessible]
document containing definitions.
• Provide data as tables (e.g. Excel worksheets)
Additional data sets (by partners)
Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet – Dept. of Forest Resource
Management and Geomatics (Partner 9)
NFI data:
• Standard datasets for three additional time points (separated by 5
years) to allow time series displays
• A dataset with dead wood volumes according to the same structure as
the standard NFI datasets
• Data at the level of single NFI plots describing the current state
(volume by species, cut volume, and age), and plot level forecasts from
2000 to 2100
• Graph showing growth and removals in Sweden
• Map showing the site quality in Swedish forests
Additional data sets (cont.)
Regione Dell’UMbria – Servizio Programmazione
Forestale (Partner 11)
• Dataset on interventions made under the reg. 2081/93 (5b)
during the period 1995-1999. This dataset can be merged with
that of Reg. 2080/92.
European Forest Institute (Partner 1)
• Data set on economic accessibility of forests in the Russian
region of Novgorod
Any other voluntary additions?
Metadata
• All WP 4 partners have provided a first version of
metadata accompanying the actual data
• Partners have documented their experiences
• Mainly related to keyword lists, missing subelements, quality and access rights
• Metadata records and comments made available to
WP2 (minutes and document including all metadata
records)
• Further elaboration based on outputs from WP 2

resources; forest products trade)
