Description This repository holds maps of annual forest disturbances across 38 European countries derived from Landsat satellite data. The European Forest Disturbance Atlas currently covers the period 1985-2021 and consists of a set of maps: The year of disturbance layers contain the year of the most recent disturbance event in the time-series and the greatest disturbance in terms of spectral change. The number of disturbances layer shows the number of disturbance events detected within the time-series. The disturbance agent layer summarises the attribution of agents over the full time series. The causal agents assigned are wind/bark beetle complex (1), fire (2), harvest (3) and mixed agents (4, where more than one agent occurred). The maps are available per country as GeoTIFF. The spatial reference system is EPSG 3035 (ETRS89 / LAEA Europe). The most current version is 2.1.0. The maps will be updated regularly. The maps can also be explored online. Version history 2.0.0 - Initial version, covering 1985-2021. 2.1.0 - Maps updated until 2023.
