            <gco:CharacterString>Satellite-based forest area consistent with FAO definitions for Canada. It is developed within the framework of Canada’s National Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring System (NTEMS). The forest area is based on the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) definition. The FAO definition incorporates land use, whereby trees removed by fire and harvesting for instance, remain forest as the trees will return. The included map displays the current forest cover for year as noted (i.e. 2022), plus the satellite-based temporally informed forest area where tree cover has been temporarily lost due to stand replacing disturbances (i.e., fire, harvest). For an overview of the methods, data, image processing, as well as information on accuracy assessment see Wulder et al. (2020).

Il a été développé dans le cadre du Système national de surveillance des écosystèmes terrestres (NTEMS) du Canada. Les zones forestières sont basées sur la définition de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO). La définition de la FAO tient compte de l'utilisation des terres; les arbres éliminés (p. ex. par le feu et la récolte) sont donc considérés comme des forêts puisque les arbres repousseront. La carte montre la couverture forestière actuelle pour une année donnée (c.-à-d. 2022), ainsi que les zones, tracées au moyen de données satellitaires temporelles, où le couvert forestier a été temporairement éliminé en raison de perturbations qui ont pour effet de remplacer les peuplements (c.-à-d. feu, récolte). Pour obtenir un aperçu des méthodes, des données, du traitement des images, ainsi que des informations sur l'évaluation de la précision, veuillez consulter Wulder et coll. (2020).
