EFDAC Objective

The specific goal of European Forest Data Center (EFDAC) is

to be a focal point for policy relevant forest data and

information by hosting and pointing to relevant forest

information as well as providing web-based tools for

accessing information located in EFDAC.

Current Structure

• Data Sets at JRC Applications at JRC

• Models at JRC (e.g. EFDM) Systems & Services at JRC

Structure of the Forest Information System for Europe (FISE)

(activities already included in the JRC Work Program 2014 – 2016)

Development based on a “modular system” including modules on:

1. Forest Disturbances

2. Forest and climate change

3. Forests and the Bio-economy

4. Forests and ecosystems services
