The green infrastructure of the boral forest landscape

In this project we have analyzed different wall-to-wall land-cover data sources, mainly the mappings of proxy continuous cover forests, high conservation value forests, and the national land-cover data, to define the present situation with respect to location, density and connectivity of intact forests but also to assess the changes since the middle of the 1900s. We have mapped, described and analyzed the premises for green infrastructure for northern Sweden, for northwest Sweden, for the forest region above the mountain forest border, for each of the counties in northern Sweden, for the mountain, inland and coastal regions, and for a gradient from coast to mountain and from river valley to the watershed divide.
