Tree species map of Switzerland

Dominant tree species map of Switzerland We created a tree species map of Switzerland for the dominant tree species in the forested areas. The spatial resolution of the map is 10 m and the coordinate system is ETRS89-extended / LAEA Europe (EPSG 3035). The map comprises Sentinel-2 index time series from the year 2020, a digital elevation model and species reference data from the Swiss National Forest Inventory. The map is available as raster (.tif) or vector dataset (.gpkg). **Access will be granted upon request.** In total, the following 15 species were mapped: *Abies alba*, *Acer pseudoplatanus*, *Alnus glutinosa*, *Alnus incana*, *Betula pendula*, *Castanea sativa*, *Fagus sylvatica*, *Fraxinus excelsior*, *Picea abies*, *Pinus cembra*, *Pinus mugo arborea*, *Pinus sylvestris*, *Quercus petraea*, *Quercus robur*, *Sorbus aucuparia*. -br/--br/- Approach -br/--br/- Data - Swiss National Forest Inventory Data (stand species with - 60 % dominance in upper canopy; on at least more than 9 plots dominant) - Sentinel-2 time series (2020, Indices: CCI, CIRE, NDMI, EVI, NDVI) - Digital elevation model (DEM) (swissalti3d, 5 m) - Biogeographical regions (Federal Office for the Environm
