This is a forest growing stock volume (GSV) map of Sweden, obtained with the BIOMASAR algorithm using Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar Global Monitoring mode images acquired in 2005 and 2006. GSV is represented in shades of green between 0-500 cubic meters per hectare. The GlobCover Land Cover map was used as background for non-forested areas. Map projection: Swedish National Grid (RT90).
