The <\/SPAN>map <\/SPAN>provides information about morphological spatial pattern of EU forest in 201<\/SPAN>5<\/SPAN>. The input data is the Forest Area 201<\/SPAN>5<\/SPAN> based on Copernicus HRL Forest products at 100m spatial resolution. This binary forest mask is divided into seven morphological spatial pattern classes: Core, Islet, Perforation, Edge, Loop, Bridge, and Branch (Forest), while the Background (Non-Forest) is divided into three classes: Core-Opening (Background inside Core), Border-Opening (Background along Foreground boundary) and Background outside of Foreground.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) methodology was developed by JRC. Details on the methodology, are described in MSPA-Manual, which is included in the GuidosToolbox software; Soille & Vogt, 2008. In short, MSPA is a customized sequence of mathematical morphological operators targeted at the description of the geometry and connectivity of the image components.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "extent":[[-4928368.879910745,4501399.979626978],[6240549.471716807,8685304.361226587]], "url":"https://eeha.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/Forest_spatial_pattern/MSPA_forest_2015/MapServer" }
