description:
|
The geodatabase and map of Europe's known primary forests harmonize 51 different datasets of primary forests and contain 16,897 individual patches (41.2 Mha) spread across 35 countries. Included information comprises each patch (name, location, naturalness, extent and dominant tree species) and the surrounding landscape (biogeographical regions, protection status, potential natural vegetation, current forest extent). Each patch for forest disturbance events using Landsat satellite-image time series (1985-2018). We estimate that 94% of the patches in our database did not experience significant disturbances that would alter their primary forest status in the last 30 year. Our database is the most comprehensive dataset on primary forests in Europe, and will be useful for biogeographic and ecological studies, and conservation planning to safeguard these unique forests.

This GeoDatabase extends and updates the work previously published in Sabatini et al. 2018 (https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.12778).
It includes and harmonizes a set of relevant resources to map primary forests in Europe. It was aggregated by Francesco Maria Sabatini and Hendrik Bluhm on behalf of the Frankfurter Zoological Society (FZS - contact Zoltan Kun).
