ECO-DRR - Open Forests
EcoDRR global classification scheme based on spatial combination of ecosystem coverage and natural hazard physical exposure.
The ecosystem data-set contains area percentage of each considered ecosystem in a 100 square kilometer cell.
For a specific ecosystem, a 0.01 degree resolution raster of coverage real area is generated.
In the case of forest coverage, the classification of the source datasets was grouped in three classes: woodland, open forest and closed forest.
The quality of ecosystem in a 100 km2 grid cell is expressed as its area percentage, considering only cell land area for forest ecosystem.

This dataset describes the current status of land areas that could potentially be forested according to climate (includes forest, open forest, woodlands). Intact forests and Fragmented/managed forests were not considered to need restoration. Potential forest lands that are currently non-forest were assumed to be deforested. Forest lands with significantly reduced canopy coverage were considered to be partially deforested (for example, potential closed forest with canopy coverage less than 45%). Both deforested and partially deforested lands considered to be restoration opportunity areas.
