The following datasets were developed for national and international reporting purposes:
Forests of Australia (2018)
Forests of Australia (2018) is a continental spatial dataset of forest extent, by national forest categories and types, assembled for Australia's State of the Forests Report 2018. It was developed from multiple forest, vegetation and land cover data inputs, including contributions from Australian, state and territory government agencies and external sources.
Tenure of Australia's forests (2018)
Tenure of Australia's forests (2018) is a continental spatial dataset of national land tenure types, assembled for Australia's State of the Forests Report 2018. It was developed from land tenure information from multiple sources, including Australian, state and territory government agencies and external sources. The land tenure dataset is then combined with forest cover information sourced from the Forests of Australia (2018) dataset.
Australia's Indigenous forest estate (2020)
Australia's Indigenous forest estate (2020) is a continental spatial dataset that identifies and reports separately the individual attributes of Australia’s Indigenous estate, namely the extent of land and forest over which Indigenous peoples and communities have ownership, management or co-management, or other special rights.
Fires in Australia's forests 2011–16 (2018)
Fires in Australia's Forests 2011–16 (2018) is a continental spatial dataset of the extent and frequency of planned and unplanned fires occurring in forest in the five financial years between July 2011 and June 2016, assembled for Australia's State of the Forests Report 2018. It was developed from multiple fire area datasets contributed by state and territory government agencies, after consultation with Australia's Forest Fire Management Group. The fire dataset is then combined with forest cover information sourced from the Forests of Australia (2018) dataset, and forest tenure information sourced from the Tenure of Australia's Forests (2018) dataset.
Australia's plantations 2016
Australia's plantations 2016 is a dataset of commercial plantations derived from spatial data provided by over 20 growers and managers. The data was provided in raw form and required standardisation to a common format. This dataset was used for reporting in Australian plantation statistics 2016.
