Product details

Name	High Resolution Layer - Small Woody Features
Acronym	SWF
Description	High Resolution Layer - Small Woody Features is a product available for the reference years 2015 and 2018 (soon to be published). It consists of a 5m raster product and a vector product containing woody linear structures and small patchy elements such as hedgerows, scrubs or trees along fields boundaries, riparian and road side vegetation and includes also isolated patches of trees and scrub, but is not differentiated into different categories. Trees are considered as green linear structures if the gaps between them are <5m. While the complementary product Additional Woody Features (AWF) which consists of woody structures that do not fulfill the SWF geometric specifications but which are connected to valid SWF structures, was a separate product for the reference year 2015, AWF is integrated into SWF for the reference year 2018. Additionally, an aggregated product at 100m spatial resolution is available.
