| dc.description | The assessment of environmental functions of forests is essential for FAO Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000). It directly relates to role of forests in the carbon cycling and maintenance of biological diversity. The present report deals with forest biomass estimate and specifically describes the progress made so far towards the establishment of a geographic information system and an electronic information system, containing integrated cartographic and tabular information for data analys is, modeling and the implementation of special studies on selected thematic elements. A global database on forest biomass is needed to support the information requirements of FRA 2000, including estimates for tree volume/biomass by broad type categories and political units. The following is a detailed report of the sequence of steps taken, from the review of existing documentation to the georefencing of the data. | |
