Thank you for the interest in the European Atlas of forest tree species.
Please, kindly find at:

) with the corresponding metadata at https://data.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dataset/86af1e37-e5c1-4fd9-aea7-b5c7d0344f90
Unfortunately, the information content in the raster map is rich and generating a corresponding manageable shapefile (e.g. with free software tools such as https://www.gdal.org/gdal_polygonize.html or similar) would likely require the information content to be downgraded.
For more information, feel free to contact the team of the European Atlas of Forest Tree Species ( [email protected] - https://w3id.org/mtv/FISE-Comm/v01 ).
With my best regards,
