LstF coniferous forests valuable areas in Jönköping County (HSI) — 2011 (version 2)

The layer is developed in connection with a satellite image-based analysis within the framework of regional environmental monitoring. The layer shows information on capercaillie suitable land for the year 2011. The “Habitat Suitability Index” (HSI) has been developed to model capercaillie suitable land in Jönköping County. Red colour has the highest HSI value and shows areas that are most suitable for capercaillie, dark green color is second best suitable etc. Areas suitable for capercaillie are also valuable areas for many other forest species. The data can be used for various cases such as protection of valuable nature and permit cases (wind power, road construction, etc.). Version 2 (produced in 2019) has been updated to increase HSI values for the open bog compared to e.g. lakes, fields and settlements.
