This repository contains maps attributing each disturbance patch of the European Forest Disturbance Map (version 1.1.4) to bark beetle/wind, fire or other disturbances (mostly harvest). The dataset is based on methods described in following paper, but have been updated with new reference data covering now also bark beetle disturbances: Senf, C. and Seidl, R. (2021) Storm and fire disturbance in Europe: Distribution and trends. Global Change Biology. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15679 To get the year of disturbance, please see the underlaying disturbance maps (version 1.1.4.; link given above). Map classes: NA = no disturbance 1 = bark beetle or wind disturbances (both classes had to be grouped due to technical reasons) 2 = fire disturbances 3 = other disturbances, mostly harvest but might include salvage logging go small-scale natural disturbances and infrequent other natural agents (e.g., defoliation, avalanches, etc.) Reference system: The spatial reference system is EPSG 3035 (ETRS89 / LAEA Europe). Word of caution: Remote sensing-based maps, while fascinating to look at, contain errors. If you intent to use the map for your research, please carefully read the discussion on limitations in the paper accompanying the dataset. There will be many instances where the attribution (or even disturbance detection) is wrong. The maps are intended to give a broad, continental-scale overview on the distribution of disturbance agents.
