Georeferenced Integrated Forest and Carbon Dataset for Spain (198-2022)

The dataset consists of a single relational database organized into a set of core tables, catalog tables and a metadata table. The database implements a normalized schema designed to represent spatially explicit forest inventory, climatic and satellite-derived information for the Spanish territory. This dataset integrates and derives from multiple third-party open-access datasets. The authors have performed original data curation, harmonization, and derivation, resulting in a new, value-added dataset.
