Gróðurkort af Íslandi [Vegetation map of Iceland].

Gróður á kortlagða svæðinu er flokkaður eftir ríkjandi og einkennandi tegundum plantna í um 100 gróðurfélög eftir gróðurflokkunarkerfi Steindórs Steindórssonar:
Íslenskt: http://utgafa.ni.is/kort/lysigogn/NI_Grodurlykill_2018_IS.pdf
English: http://utgafa.ni.is/kort/lysigogn/NI_Grodurlykill_2018_EN.pdf
Land sem hefur minni gróðurþekju en 10% er flokkað í 14 landgerðir eftir eðliseiginleikum lands. Gróið land er flokkað í fjóra þekjuflokka, þ.e. algróið &gt; 90% gróðurhula, 75% gróðurhula (x), 50% gróðurhula (z) og 25% gróðurhula (þ). Nákvæmni kortsins miðast við mælikvarða 1:25.000.
Önnur útgáfa stafræns gróðurkorts af Íslandi nær til 45% af landsvæði Íslands (land án jökla).</gco:CharacterString>

                  <gco:CharacterString>2. útg. 30. maí 2023: Kortið er byggt á misgömlum vettvangsgögnum NÍ og Rala, frá því gróðurkortagerð hófst á Íslandi árið 1955 til dagsins í dag. Á árunum 1955–1996 var gögnum safnað á vettvangi með kortlagningu á óuppréttar svart/hvítar loftmyndir (snertimyndir) í mælikvarða 1:36.000. Frá árinu 1997 fór gagnasöfnun á vettvangi fram með kortlagningu á upprétt raunlita myndkort í mælikvarða 1:15.000.  
Gróðurkortið byggir á grunnkorti Loftmynda, TK-50. Við gerð stafræna kortsins voru öll vettvangsgögn, sama frá hvaða tíma þau eru, endurteiknuð og uppfærð með skjáteikningu eftir nýjustu raunlitamyndkortum frá Loftmyndum ehf. og gögn frá árunum 1999–2022 einnig eftir innrauðum Spot 5 gervitunglamyndum. Uppruni gagna fyrir aðra útgáfu stafræns gróðurkorts af Íslandi miðast við árabilið 1999–2022, jafnvel þó vettvangsvinna á mestum hluta landsins hafi upphaflega verið unnin fyrir þann tíma eða allt frá árinu 1955.
 Staðfæring vettvangsgagna var unnin af starfsmönnum gróðurkortagerðar NÍ ásamt starfsmönnum frá Náttúrustofu Vestfjarða á árabilinu 2008–2014. Stór hluti eldri gagna hefur verið kortlagður oftar en einu sinni en ávallt hefur verið stuðst við nýjustu kortlagningu. Ítarleg skráning uppruna undirliggjandi gagna er í vinnslu.  
Gróðurkortlagning NÍ var í umsjón Guðmundar Guðjónssonar frá 1995–2021. Fyrir þann tíma var kortlagningin undir stjórn Ingva Þorsteinssonar.
