Data on the nationwide biotope and usage type mapping Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Description

In 1990/91, nationwide aerial photography flights were carried out using a color infrared (CIR) film that is particularly suitable for analysis purposes on a scale of 1:10.000. As a result of the visual image processing process, thematic maps were created on the basis of the intersection of the topographic map 1:10.000, in which the encoded information is attached to each area- and line-like biotope type according to the alpha-numeric key of the biotope types and usage types. The biotope and usage type key consists of letter and number coding. It has a three-stage hierarchical structure within the biotope groups. Based on 6 landscape element types (biotope groups), these were broken down into a total of 23 structural types (subunits), which in turn comprise several biotope types (subunits). Each biotope type can have features from two further columns (vegetational characteristic; Location and usage characteristics) which are to be assigned freely as letter encodings.
