The main gap among forestry systems

The transversal situation is that many datasets with forestry information are available but not published via a catalogue system and/or not available via standard OGC web services, i.e. WMS, WFS and WCS and eventually CSW.



Main objective of EuroGeoss / WP3

To extend the existing forestry data / information capabilities into a global distributed database of forestry information, serving information from a wide array of data providers at local, regional and global levels, coupled with model servers that can provide vital forestry analysis tools to the GEOSS community of science.

Multidisciplinary Scenarios



• Offering initial operating capacities in three societal benefit areas (Forest, Biodiversity, Drought) to GEOSS and establishing a bridge between them through a multidisciplinary approach and cross-cutting research issues.

• Developing and sharing best practices and means for interoperability.

•Data management: data, metadata, products harmonisation and quality assurance

• User engagement: Forest mapping and change monitoring

step Forest change mapping scenarios

1 Expert – users through the web interface query (WMS/WFS) the TREESTREES database of images and other global or regional forestry-related data sets (in – situ forest measurements FAO, CIFOR). Expert – users validate, correct and update the forest change maps and make the results accessible through the web services (through WMS).

2 Forest/vegetation experts (expert – users) through the web interface query (WMS/WFS) other global data sets (WCMC, OFAC, FIRMS) and validate, correct and update the protected areas database (vegetation maps) in conjunction with the query results. Expert – users analyze, correct and update maps of land cover around and within the protected area in database.

3 Using the web services (WMS/WFS) end-users search and access through a catalogue a geographical and forestry thematic information from national, regional and local level in Spain.

4 End-users through a catalogue (CSW/WMS/WFS) select and access a forest cover maps throughout the specific regions (for instance: Tropic, Africa, Europe) and time period (1990 – 2000- 2005).

5 Using web services (CSW/WMS/WFS) end–users search and select the forest cover maps and combine them with available forestry thematic layers and forest inventory statistics in the common web interface (Map Viewer), for instance: forest type, species richness, number of different tree species, tree stand global composition, occurrence / presence of tree species, tree species distribution / habitats suitability maps, protected areas, biodiversity, forest indicators, etc.

6 The end–users combining the different forestry thematic layers produce the additional layers and export/save them locally.

7 The end–users through a catalogue search (CSW/WMS/WFS) and select the available forest maps and thematic layers desired to compute the different analysis. The selected maps and layers through the common web interface (Map Viewer) are used for various analysis.

step Forest Fires scenario

1 National forest fire expert (end- user) through WMS services searches and accesses forest fire maps and layers available in European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS), for instance: information on forest fire danger forecast, results of analyses of forest fire damages for the pan-European area, maps of burned biomass and atmospheric emissions in EU, fuel map of Europe, etc.

2 The EFFIS user through WMS services accesses, selects and visualizes accesses, selects and visualizes geographical and forest fires thematic information from national, regional and local level in Spain / Portugal as well as other general and thematic resources from GEOSS initiative on Wildland Fire Warning System, Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS).

3 End – user searches (CSW/WMS/WFS) the forest fires data from different systems (WFWS, FIRMS, EFFIS, and Portuguese / Spanish systems), selects preferred forest fire thematic layers and within the common Map Viewer uses them for various analysis uses them for various analysis and research purposesand research purposes, for instance: calculation of burnt area, fire danger in area of interest (for instance certain regions in Spain / Portugal); evaluation of accuracy of the results according to different data sources. In addition the combination of forest fire layers with other forestry thematic layers could be used to evaluate and analyze the impact of forest fires to biodiversity, protected areas, tree species distribution.

4 The end–user combiningcombining the forest fire thematic layers from different sources producesproduces the additional layers and exports /saves them locally.
