Abstract
This study integrates machine learning (Random Forest) and open landscape data to predict the conservation value of forests in Sweden at a 1-hectare resolution. The model accurately predicts different levels of forest naturalness, validated using independent data. This wall-to-wall mapping addresses the need for assessing conservation targets, spatial planning, and forest landscape restoration in the face of intensive forestry.
