With ForestPaths releasing the European Forest Disturbance Atlas - a dataset of annual forest disturbance maps across 38 European countries - it is also now featured on the Forest Information System for Europe (FISE). FISE is an entry point for data, information and knowledge on European forests – gathered or derived through key forest-related policy drivers. 

The maps, developed by project partner Technical University of Munich (TUM), extend the previous European Forest Disturbance Atlas from 1985–2021 to cover the period 1985–2023 using the full Landsat satellite archive.

This latest version introduces major advances: it detects multiple disturbance events per location, attributes causes such as wind, fire, bark beetles or harvest, and is fully open-source and operational for annual updates. The Atlas includes three visual layers: year of latest or largest disturbance, disturbance frequency and disturbance agent, offering an unprecedented, high-resolution view of forest change across Europe.

Hosted on FISE, the maps provide essential insights for understanding disturbance dynamics, supporting forest management, policy and climate adaptation strategies. The dataset is also available on Zenodo and through Google Earth Engine Apps, with continuous updates by TUM to improve data quality and usability.
