The borders are indeed somewhat difficult, but in many ways it is quite applicable around here. The type tag I mostly regards as a theoretical tag. Most people do not know what trees there are and couch mapping won’t tell, either, which is why I don’t see that tag used very much. Also, that is purely used to describe the type of trees in the forest, and not used for density to my knowledge.The sparsely distributed trees of a “Light” forest however are quite clearly seen on fly over fotography etc. The official Topomaps also see the need to make this difference, which is useful for hiking etc, where those landmarks are important.
