Data details

Name High Resolution Layer - Tree Cover Density
Note The Tree Cover Density product represents the primary status layers showing the level of tree cover density in a range from 0-100%, available for the 2012 and 2015 reference years at 20m spatial resolution, for 2018-2021 at 10m spatial resolution, and in European projection. For 2012, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 an aggregated product at 100m is available.

Land Cover Partially The spatial resolution of the High Resolution Layer (HRL) does not fully match the mapping scale of a land cover / land use classification at 1:10,000. Issues can result in particular for small landscape elements. April 28, 2020, 11:09 a.m. Nov. 30, 2020, 12:52 p.m.
Land Cover - Forest Partially Reference years 2012 and 2015 at 2 0m resolution, and 2018 at 10 m resolution. April 28, 2020, 11:09 a.m. Nov. 30, 2020, 12:52 p.m.
Land Cover - Grassland Partially Additionally used for training sample selection and identification as well as for plausibility checks, but limited to the density parameter. April 28, 2020, 11:09 a.m. Nov. 30, 2020, 12:52 p.m.
