The carbon map provides information on carbon stocks and carbon dioxide uptake for different land types and land uses. Using data and maps on carbon stocks and sinks in forests and soils, municipalities and other landowners can develop strategies to reduce the climate impact of land use.
The maps are available in raster format (geotif) with a resolution of 10 × 10 metres.
