Percentage of stocking along rivers

Vegetation performs important functions. It provides shade for rivers, thus reducing peak water temperatures. In the context of global warming, this is increasingly important. Furthermore, reforestation reduces bank erosion and retains pollutants. The dataset shows the proportion [%] of the stocking of the two 15-metre-wide river banks. Forestation was defined as vegetation taller than 2.5 meters. It was calculated for all free-flowing rivers with a width greater than 1 meter. The vegetation height model of the National Forest Inventory served as the data basis.
