Virgin forest inventory of the Carpathians (KEO), version 1, Dec. 2019

The virgin forest inventory data set includes the location (point) of the last virgin forests identified by each Carpathians Convention Member, namely Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Ukraine. The data set does not include plots from Poland, since no official inputs have been submitted yet. An additional layer presents the quasi virgin forest plots provided by Romania. The virgin forest inventory inputs were collected and validated in 2019.

The attribute table indicates, when available and along the virgin forest location, additional information as the official name, size, the county to which it belongs, altitude, level of protection, the forest type according to the national classification and its correspondence with the European Nature Information System classes (EUNIS). The Carpathians area of study is delimited by the Carpathian Environment Outlook (KEO) boundary.

      This data set is created in the agreement framework between the Carpathian Convention Secretariat, the Environmental European Agency (EEA) and the European Topic Centre on Urban, Land, and Soil Systems (ETC/ULS) to support the Carpathian Convention Working Group on Forest. The source data are owned by the Member Parties of the Carpathian Convention. The data set cannot be made freely available but can be granted access on demand.

      Statement

      The dataset is based on the forest plot location provided in tabular format by the Convention Member Parties. The data creation includes a harmonization process to have a consistent database, on the coordinate projection, naming and attributes used. The main efforts were focused on the translation of national forest species into a common EU standard, namely the European Nature Information System (EUNIS) within the support of local experts from the Members of the Convention, which have as well validated this resulting dataset at the end of the process.
