Swedish Land cover data, base year 2000
Description
Swedish Land Cover Data (SMD) presents vegetation and land use with a classification based on the EU classification system for CORINE Land Cover; landscaped areas, agricultural land, forests and natural soils, wetlands and water. The database shows 58 classes, the minimum mapping unit is 1, 2, 5 or 25 ha depending on the class. The classes are a result of user needs, EU requirements and what was technically and economically possible to map. SMD is available as three different products: • SMD, pixel. The product has a resolution of 25*25 meters where the classes mapped by rating satellite information can have that resolution. Classes visually interpreted by the operator have the smallest mapping unit for the class in question, while the classes taken from other material have a resolution that depends on the starting material. • SMD, breaks. The product is in raster format and the included surfaces are automatically generalized to the smallest mapping unit (1, 2, 5 or 25 hectares). Different classes have different minimum mapping units, see Annex 1 for detailed description. The generalization applied the rules specified for the work with CORINE Land Cover • SMD, vector. The product is a vectorisation of ‘Land cover data, breaks’. The vectorization is made so that the vectors follow the grid exactly.
