Softwood (PCTSWD) is an estimate of the proportional basal area in softwoods. Available here as a softwood per cent raster (GeoTIF) with a 10 m pixel resolution. Note: Hardwood (HWD) proportion is derived as 100 less softwood.

Download: Here The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, Forest Service Branch, has developed a forest resource inventory (FRI) which meets a variety of strategic and operational planning information needs for the boreal plains. Such needs include information on the general land cover, terrain, and growing stock (height, diameter, basal area, timber volume and stem density) within the provincial forest and adjacent forest fringe. This inventory provides spatially explicit information as 10 m or 20 m raster grids and as vectors polygons for relatively homogeneous forest stands or naturally non-forested areas with a 0.5 ha minimum area and a 2.0 ha median area.  Softwood (PCTSWD) is an estimate of the proportional basal area in softwoods. PCTSWD is available here as a color-mapped 16-bit unsigned integer raster grid in GeoTIFF format with a 10 m pixel resolution. Note: Hardwood (HWD) proportion is derived as 100 less softwood. An ArcGIS Pro layer file (*.lyrx) is supplied for viewing PCTSWD data in the following 10 per cent categories. Domain: [NULL, 0…100].
