| description | The article deals with the land categorization with special focus on the definition of category FOREST in the National Forest Inventory of the Czech Republic (NFI CR). Definitions of land categories used in the first cycle of forest inventory in 2001–2004 are evaluated. The first task is to assess the appropriateness of existing land categorization and definition of category FOREST in terms of suitability of used parameters defining individual categories and their values. Their compatibility with international definitions of category FOREST is also assessed. The second task is, based on data from the first cycle of NFI CR, to calculate the area of category FOREST according to the international definition of European National Forest Inventory Network (ENFIN) and to determine whether the area of category FOREST is the same or varies from the area according to the definition FOREST defined in NFI CR.In the first part there is a list of used land classifications in the Czech Republic and there are also described used international classifications. Land categorization and definitions according ENFIN are presented. Further the parameters are chosen in the national definition of NFI CR, which are compared with analogous parameters defined by ENFIN, indicating differences. Subsequently, the area of category FOREST is calculated according to the parameters of national definition and ENFIN definition. Finally, suggestions are given for the land classification into categories for the second cycle of NFI CR, including the appropriate parameters and their values for the definition of category FOREST. Possible ways of their implementation into the methodology of NFI CR are listed. |
