The Digital Observatory for Protected Areas (DOPA) is conceived around a set of interacting Critical Biodiversity Informatics Infrastructures (databases, web modelling services, broadcasting services, ...) hosted at different institutions, including the Joint Research Centre of the European...

This technical report presents the assessment protocol for forest/non-forest interpretation from high spatial resolution images that was used to estimate the accuracy of the second version of the Global Forest Cover map for the year 2020 (GFC2020). GFC2020 is a novel spatial representation of...

The workshop was held at the headquarters of EMBRAPA Florestas in Curitiba/Colombo from 13th - 15th April, as a follow-up of EMBRAPA's visit in Ispra in November 2015 (supported by the 8th EU-Brazil Sector Dialogues Programme). EMBRAPA Florestas is responsible for the development of a remote...

Did you ever try to produce a reliable land cover map from Earth Observation data? How many steps are involved and how many different tools do you need? Did you succeed in a reasonable amount of time? IMPACT toolbox offers a combination of elements of remote sensing, photo interpretation and...

This article describes the methodology and results of a new JRC phenology-based classification algorithm able to generate accurate land cover map sin a fully automatic manner from Landsat 8 (L8)remote sensed data available since 12th April 2013 at no charge throughout the USGS website. A...

The JRC TREES-3 project aims at estimating forest cover changes at continental and regional levels for the tropical belt for the periods 1990-2000 and 2000-(2005)-2010 based on a systematic sample of forest cover change maps. An operational system has been developed for the processing and change...

The JRC developed and updates the Global Forest Cover map for the year 2020 (GFC2020) as a support tool for the implementation of the EU Regulation on deforestation-free supply chains (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, in short EUDR). The report serves stakeholders, foremost operators and traders...
