Objectives BIOSOIL – Biodiversity
• Collect harmonised information relevant to forest biodiversity at European level
• Present European forest type (habitat) classification• Test indicators of forest biodiversity• Integrate information and ongoing projects (e.g.,
BioSoil) on forest biodiversity• Quantify European forest biodiversity and monitor
changes
Joint Research Centre
Collected data
• General plot characteristics– location, altitude, management, forest type
• Stand structure and composition– Tree species, DBH, height, density
• Deadwood– Type, dimensions, state of decay
• Ground vegetation– species, cover

Conclusion
• Biosoil/Biodiversity data base ready• Forest maps 1990, 2000, 2006 available• Forest Type map 2006 available• First validation results 2006 are
promising:– Forest Map 2006: 88%– Forest Type Map 2006: 86%– Forest types based on NFI: 88%
• (in Spain and within forest map only)• Next: validation in Europe
