Abstract The Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) presents global and regional forest data by global ecological zone (GEZ). The GEZ spatial dataset used by FAO has developed over the years from covering only the tropical areas (1990) to the globe (2000). Due to the developments in remote sensing and the compiling of many spatial products relating to climate and land cover between 2000 and 2010, an update to the map was commissioned and resulted in the available GEZ 2010 product
Purpose Main uses of the map include: a) reporting purposes, to provide baseline forest statistics by ecological zone; b) analysis and modelling purposes, i.e. assessment of forest-based biological diversity, both at ecosystem and species level, and biomass modelling.

The spatial data identified as FAO Core Datasets share the following characteristics: • Coarse resolution data, between 30 arcsec and 10 arcmin for the rasters, and between 1:1 million and 1:10 million scale for the vectors. • Related to a global, continental or regional level. Country data are not considered at this stage. • FAO as the main producer of the data or with publication rights as partner of a group that released the data. • Data release and access is unrestricted (public domain). • Primary (observed, mapped) and modeled data qualify.
