Resumen
Descripción
The Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) presents global and regional forest data by global ecological zone (GEZ). The GEZ spatial dataset used by FAO has developed over the years from covering only the tropical areas (1990) to the globe (2000). Due to the developments in remote sensing and the compiling of many spatial products relating to climate and land cover between 2000 and 2010, an update to the GEZ 2000 ma p was commissioned. This took the form of two months’ consultant work spread over May-August 2011, and contributions from other scientists, particularly for North America and Australia.
