Most current forest map of Spain

The Forest Map of Spain (MFE) is the basic forest mapping at the state level, which includes the distribution of Spanish forest ecosystems. It is a project led by the General Directorate of Biodiversity, Forests and Desertification using a working methodology based on photointerpretation, with field verification. The MFE is a fundamental component of the Spanish Inventory of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity. The MFE provides detailed and homogeneous vector information for the entire Spanish territory of the structural type or main use of each tesela, the degree of coverage and the main mapped tree species, among others. It constitutes the cartographic basis of the National Forestry Inventory (IFN), and therefore, analogous to the IFN, has a continuous character and a periodicity of updating at least ten years. The most up-to-date Spanish Forest Map is prepared by documenting the provicies of the previous MFE50 with the new provinces that are being generated from the MFE25.
