Forests of Australia (2023) — National Forest Cover Grid Cross-Tabulation

One row per unique class of the continental 'Forests of Australia (2023)' forest-cover raster: forest category (native forest, commercial plantation, other forest, non-forest), forest type (23 national types, e.g. Eucalypt woodland classes, Acacia, Mangrove, Melaleuca, Rainforest, softwood/hardwood plantation), crown cover code (1-6), height code (1-6), state/territory, and the input data source (NVIS 6.0, Aus_For18, Tas Forest Comms, Global Mangroves, NPI spatial and others). The `count` column is the number of grid cells in that class — an area proxy, not hectares. 687 rows; frozen 2023 edition compiled by ABARES for the National Forest Inventory and Australia's State of the Forests Report, using the national forest definition (trees over 2 m with at least 20% crown cover). Tabular summary of a spatial dataset, no coordinates included.
