Pan-European Maps of Canopy Fuels

WORKING VERSION.

All layers will be visible in this linked webgis app along with estimated error. <== To Be Updated in new final version, not yet so.

The layers available in this dataset are in a WGS84 geographic coordinate reference system  (EPSG:4326) where latitude and longitude coordinates at 0.0008983 degrees ground sampling distance per cell, which corresponds to about 1 ha, i.e. ~100 m x ~100 m at the equator, but decreases in area with increasing latitude as the coordinate system is not equal-area, e.g. ~70 m west-est direction at 45° latitude and ~50 m west-est direction at  60° latitude.

• A_Aspect.tif, A_slope.tif and A__elevation.tif - Earth surface height above sea level and morphology. Prefix was added to group them in Zenodo.
• biomass.tif - Biomass values at year 2020, Mg/ha. 
• canopyBulkDensity.tif -  Amount of canopy biomass per volume of canopy (kg/m3)
• canopyBaseHeight.tif - Height of  canopy start measured from the ground (m)
• canopyCover.tif - percent of canopy coverage - resampled and updated from the map of Hansen et al. 2005
• canopyHeight.tif - Total height of canopy from the ground (m) - resampled from the map of Lang, N., et al. (2023)
• Fuel Model
  • FuelModelClasses_ScottBurgan.tif - the category of Fuel Model according to Scott&Burgan 2005
  • FuelModelClasses_Aragonese.tif - the category of Fuel Model according to Aragonese et al. 2023 DOI: 10.5194/essd-15-1287-2023 - values are from 1 to 24, with a Look Up Table for correspondence (values are ordered matching the order in table 1 of the article) .
  • FuelModelClasses_ScottBurgan.clr/qml CLR/QML - style file for QGIS
  • FuelModelClasses_Aragonese.clr/qml CLR/QML - style file for QGIS
  • FuelModelPercent.tif - the percent of fuel model category belonging to that pixel, values range between 50 and 100. Allows to spot pixels with expected mixed fuel categories.
