6º National Forest Inventory - IFN6 - RDF - Cross-Forest Project - 6th National Forest Inventory - IFN6 - RDF - Cross-Forest Project

This spatial data set, produced by the ICNF (Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests), corresponds to the 6º National Forest Inventory (IFN) and was prepared to be made available as Linked Open Data (LOD) in RDF format, with aggregated information according to NUTSIII, under the Cross-Forest project. The IFN is a statistical and cartographic process, which aims to evaluate the abundance, state and condition of national forest resources. In the IFN, the production of statistics is based on sampling processes, which are carried out in different stages that make up the overall Inventory task. In mainland Portugal, IFN started in 1965 and, since then, has been permanently maintained with a periodicity of approximately 10 years. The results are obtained on the basis of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS), at NUTS-I level (Continental Portugal, Azores and Madeira), regionally (NUTS-II) and IFN 6, also at sub-regional level (NUTS-III) for the main indicators. _This spatial dataset, produced by ICNF (Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests), adapted to the 6th National Forest Inventory (IFN) and was prepared to be made available as Linked Open Data (LOD) in RDF format, with aggregated information according to NUTSIII, within the scope of the Cross-Forest project. IFN is a process of statistical and cartographic nature, which aims to assess the abundance, state and condition of national forest resources. At IFN, the production of statistics is based on sampling processes, which are carried out in different stages that make up the global task of Inventory. In Continental Portugal, the IFN started in 1965 and, since that date, it has been preserved with a periodicity of about 10 years. The results are achieved based on the Nomenclature of Territorial Statistical Units (NUTS), at the NUTS-I level (Continental Portugal, Azores and Madeira), regionally (NUTS-II) and at IFN 6, also at the sub-regional level (NUTS - III) for the main indicators._
