The file contains processed results derived using tree data from the ICP Forests database with falsified locations centered using the grid system of MODIS satellite data. For access to the original data please contact the data holder, ICP Forests (http://icp-forests.net/).
This analysis is based on data collected by partners of the official UNECE ICP Forests Network (http://icp-forests.net/contributors). Part of the data was co-financed by the European Commission (data received on 05.12.2015).
