| Limitations with regard to usage |
The continuous peat map should only be used to illustrate the horizontal distribution of peat as the uncertainties in peat depth are large (± 19 cm). The map (both products) is produced for the whole landscape, but since it is trained on data from forest land, the results are not quality assessed for other types of land. |
