Tenure of Australia's forests (2013) v2.0

**This dataset has been superseded by the *Tenure of Australia's forests (2023)*. For further information please see:**
https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/tenure-of-australia-s-forests-2023

Tenure of Australia's forests (2013) v2.0 is a continental dataset of tenure classified into national forest tenure classes:  Multiple Use Public Forest, Nature Conservation Reserves, Other Crown Land, Leasehold, Private Freehold and Unresolved Tenure.  The dataset combines forest cover with land tenure information. 

 The forest cover information was sourced from the Forests of Australia (2013) v2.0  dataset, an update of the Forests of Australia (2013) dataset, reclassified in order to align the national forest types and national forest categories of the National Forest Inventory (NFI) forest cover dataset with those reported in Australia's State of the Forests Report 2013 (SOFR 2013). 

 The land tenure information was sourced from the commercially available Public Sector Mapping Agency (PSMA) CADLite and Tenure datasets, and tenure data obtained from the former Forests NSW (now Forestry Corporation of NSW). The NFI - a collaborative partnership between the Australian and state and territory governments, whose role is to collate, integrate and communicate information on Australia's forests - used information from these sources to compile a national tenure dataset by applying a national classification to the data supplied by the states and territories to allow seamless integration. 

 As with previous versions, this Tenure of Australia's Forests (2013) v2.0 dataset was produced by combining the NFI land tenure dataset with the most recent Forests of Australia dataset. The only difference between the Tenure of Australia's Forests (2013) and the Tenure of Australia's Forests (2013) v2.0 is that the latter has the updated national forest cover types and new national forest categories. The underlying land tenure data is the same in both versions of the 2013 forest tenure datasets.

Forests of Australia (2013) v2.0

**This is a superseded dataset, the current *Forest's of Australia (2023)* dataset can be found at: https://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/forestsaustralia/forest-data-maps-and-tools/spatial-data.**

Forests of Australia (2013) v2.0 is a continental dataset of forest extent by national forest categories and types. It was developed from multiple forest, vegetation and land cover data inputs, including contributions from relevant Australian, state and territory government agencies and external sources. 

 A forest is defined in this dataset as "An area, incorporating all living and non-living components, that is dominated by trees having usually a single stem and a mature or potentially mature stand height exceeding two metres and with existing or potential crown cover of overstorey strata about equal to or greater than 20 per cent. This includes Australia's diverse native forests and plantations, regardless of age. It is also sufficiently broad to encompass areas of trees that are sometimes described as woodlands". 

 The dataset was compiled by the National Forest Inventory (NFI) - a collaborative partnership between the Australian and state and territory governments - whose role is to collate, integrate and communicate information on Australia's forests. States and Territories agencies collect forest data using independent methods and at varying scales or resolutions. The NFI, through the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), applies a national classification to state and territory data to allow seamless integration. Independent and multiple sources of external data are used to fill data gaps and improve the quality of the final dataset. 

 Forests of Australia (2013) v2.0 presents the new NFI classification with three national forest categories, as reported by the NFI in  Australia's State of the Forests Report 2013  (SOFR 2013), and replaces the spatial dataset titled Forests of Australia (2013). The three national forest categories are: Native forest, Industrial plantations and Other forests. The 'Native forest' category has previously been reported by the NFI, however, 'Industrial plantations' and 'Other forests' are new categories for planted forests: 'Industrial plantations', for plantations managed commercially and reported through the National Plantation Inventory (NPI), and 'Other forest' for planted forest not managed commercially or otherwise not reported through the NPI. 

 Forests of Australia dataset series are produced to fulfil requirements of the Australia's  National Forest Policy Statement (NFPS)  and the  Regional Forests Agreement (RFA) Act 2002.  The dataset is used for domestic and international reporting.

Tenure of Australia's forests (2018)

**This dataset has been superseded by the *Tenure of Australia's forests (2023)*. For further information please see:**
https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/tenure-of-australia-s-forests-2023

*Tenure of Australia’s forests (2018)* is a continental spatial dataset of
national land tenure types, assembled for *Australia's State of the Forests
Report 2018*. It was developed from land tenure information from multiple
sources, including contributions from Australian, state and territory
government agencies and external sources. The tenure dataset is then
combined with forest cover information sourced from the *Forests of
Australia (2018)* dataset: https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/forests-of-australia-2018

The dataset was compiled by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and
Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) for the National Forest
Inventory (NFI), a collaborative partnership between the Australian and
state and territory governments. The role of the NFI is to collate, integrate
and communicate information on Australia’s forests. The NFI applies a
national classification to state and territory data to allow seamless
integration of these datasets. Multiple independent sources of external
data are used to fill data gaps and improve the quality of the final dataset.

The NFI classifies land tenure into six national tenure classes suitable for
application to forest: Leasehold forest, Multiple-use public forest, Nature
conservation reserve, Other Crown land, Private forest and Unresolved
tenure.

The *Tenure of Australia’s forests (2018)* dataset is produced to fulfil
requirements of Australia's *National Forest Policy Statement* and the
*Regional Forests Agreement Act 2002* (Cwth), and is used by the Australian
Government for domestic and international reporting.

This dataset is updated every five years for the Australia's State of the Forests Report Series. Further information can be found on the Forests Australia website: http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/forestsaustralia/sofr/sofr-2018

The NFI classifies forests into three national forest categories (Native forest, Commercial plantation, and Other forest) and then into various forest types. Commercial plantations presented in this dataset were sourced from the National Plantation Inventory (NPI) spatial dataset (2016), also produced by ABARES. Another dataset produced by ABARES, the Catchment scale Land Use and Management (CLUM) dataset (2016), was used to identify and mask out land uses that are inappropriate to map
as forest.
