Key messageA spatial explicit approach coping with potential modifications in ecological structures and functions of forests due to climate change and atmospheric deposition was developed for Germany (Jenssen et al. 2013; Schroder et al. in Sci Total Environ 521-522:108-122, 2015). As a result, two maps of current semi-natural forest ecosystem types of Germany (1991-2010) and the Kellerwald National Park (2001-2010) are presented. The data provided (Nickel et al. 2018) are accessible at 10.1594/PANGAEA.887305 and comprise 120 ecosystem types (89 near-natural ecosystems, 31 cultivated ecosystems) covering 27% of Germany's territory and, respectively, 17 forest types (12 near-natural, 5 cultivated) covering 86% of the National Park area. The data are in particular of relevance for spatial ecology and conservation purposes.
