Information Services
EFI is committed to compiling and disseminating forestry information at the European level. Here you find information services and download pages. Databases are listed as a separate link. The information services result either from projects or are part of EFI's core activities.
EUROFOREST portal
The European forest portal is a web-based entry point into pan-European forest information for the selected topics. It consists of an extensive metadatabase which allows easy search and provides comprehensive metadata records and links to the original sources.

CO2Fix model download
The CO2Fix model has been produced as an output of the EU funded project 'Carbon Sequestration in Afforestation and Sustainable Forest Management', CASFOR, and its follow up project CASFOR-II. CO2Fix constitutes an ecosystem level model to estimate carbon budgets and carbon sequestration for various forest types.
The COST Action E27
'Protected forest areas in Europe - analysis and harmonisation' has produced as one of its outputs a Protected Forest Areas Clearinghouse. The service contains besides general information on the Action, publications for downloading and a set of databases related to protected forest areas in Europe.
The COST Action E4
The objective of the COST E4 Action is to create a European network of forest reserves in order to collect ongoing research and unify research methodologies and have access to a central databank for the exchange of research results. Currently this database is not maintained, but it is kept online for research purposes. The data is likely to be outdated. Continue to the database
