High Resolution satellite imagery forms the input for the creation of many information products and services, such as land cover maps or high resolution layers on land cover characteristics. Having all the satellite imagery available to cover 39 countries of EEA (EEA39), it is worthwhile to process the individual image scenes into a seamless pan-European ortho-rectified mosaic. |
| POTENTIAL USE CASES | Background imagery for applications and hackathons |

The CORINE Land Cover (CLC) inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990). Updates have been produced in 2000, 2006, and 2012. It consists of an inventory of land cover in 44 classes. CLC uses a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 25 hectares (ha) for areal phenomena and a minimum width of 100 m for linear phenomena. The time series are complemented by change layers, which highlight changes in land cover with an MMU of 5 ha. Different MMUs mean that the change layer has higher resolution than the status layer. Due to differences in MMUs the difference between two status layers will not equal to the corresponding CLC-Changes layer. If you are interested in CLC-Changes between two neighbor surveys always use the CLC-Change layer. |

Natura 2000 (an EU-wide network of nature protection areas established under the 1992 Habitats Directive) is the centerpiece of EU nature & biodiversity policy. The aim of the network is to assure the long-term survival of Europe’s most valuable and threatened species and habitats.
A selection of N2K grassland-rich sites (5 grassland habitats types 6210, 6240, 6250, 6510 and 6520, including a 2km buffer and covering approx. 160.000 km2) sites was mapped in order to assess their actual area, their condition and their development over time. The sites were analysed for the 2006 and 2012 reference years and a change analysis was performed. The mapping also included a 2km buffer zone where an analysis of pressures and threats was conducted. The analysis focused on a selection of grassland (semi-natural/species rich) habitat types. The inclusion of the remaining grassland-rich N2K sites not selected in the current exercise will be implemented in 2016 and an extension to other habitat types is also foreseen and under discussion. |
