Forests play a pivotal role in timber production,
maintenance and development of biodiversity and in carbon sequestration and storage in the context of the Kyoto Protocol. Policy
makers and forest experts therefore require reliable information
on forest extent, type and change for management, planning and
modeling purposes. It is becoming increasingly clear that such
forest information is frequently inconsistent and unharmonised
between countries and continents. This paper presents a forest information portal that has been developed in line with the GEOSS
and INSPIRE frameworks. The web portal provides access to
forest resource data at a variety of spatial scales, from global
through to regional and local, as well as providing analytical capabilities for monitoring and validating forest change. The system
also allows for the utilisation of forest data and processing services
within other thematic areas. The web portal has been developed
using open standards to facilitate accessibility, interoperability
and data transfer [-]
