The ecoforest inventory north of the northern limit of attributable forests is an extensive inventory that was carried out for specific knowledge acquisition needs. It was carried out between 2005 and 2009 as part of the work of the scientific committee responsible for examining the northern limit of attributable forests (Nordic Ecoforest Inventory Program [PIEN]). The data in this inventory comes from a cartography that is based both on the use of archival aerial photographs interpreted in three dimensions on the screen and on the analysis of satellite images.
This dataset covers the territory between the 50th and 53rd parallel and covers an area of 242,000 km2. It includes forest and ecological mapping data (vegetation, surface deposits and drainage) as well as ecodendrometric sample plot data. This data is distributed by map sheet at a scale of 1/250,000. The minimum mapping area is 8 ha for stands and 4 ha for surface deposits.
