INSPIRE - Plots mainly dedicated to the production of Christmas trees in Wallonia (BE)

Description

This series of spatial data layers includes the areas (plots) devoted mainly to the cultivation of Christmas trees in Wallonia for the year 2015 as part of the INSPIRE theme "Soil use" and covering the Walloon territory. The European Directive 2007/2/EC - INSPIRE Directive - establishes an infrastructure for spatial information in the European Community. INSPIRE applies to 34 thematic areas divided into 3 Annexes. This series includes the spatial data layers referring to land use (Annex 3.4). Within the meaning of the Directive, the theme "land use" covers "territories characterised by their intended functional dimension or their current and future socio-economic object (e.g. residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural, forestry, recreational)". In recent years, the environmental impact of growing Christmas trees has been raised several times (use of plant protection products, conversion of permanent grassland into crops, etc.). The Directorate for Environmental Status (DEE) is responsible for drawing up and publishing reports on the state of the environment in Wallonia. The purpose of these Reports is to draw up a critical, evolving and forward-looking assessment of the various components of the Walloon environment, the pressures exerted by human activities and an analysis of the management carried out, in order to inform policy-makers, citizens, environmental stakeholders and managers (Articles D32 to D36 of Book I of the Environment Code and Decree of 16 March 2006 on the right of public access to environmental information). In this context, the EED maintains scientific monitoring and initiates the necessary studies to integrate emerging environmental issues. It is in this context that the DEE (SPW-DGO3-DEMNA) carried out a study to produce a map of the areas devoted to the cultivation of the Christmas tree (csN) in Wallonia. On the basis of methodological principles (see genealogy), the data layer distinguishes the following three classes: - Class 1: plantations of Christmas trees proper; - Class 2: production of seedlings (areas dedicated to the production of Christmas tree seedlings, forest seedlings or ornamental seedlings (sowing and plucking phases); - Class 3: inedible nurseries and horticultural crops (forest, fruit or ornamental nurseries and inedible horticultural crops). The 2015 anonymous agricultural plot was used as source data. For classes 1 and 2, the plots concerned are first identified by photo-interpretation of the infrared of the orthophotos. The plots mostly covered by Christmas trees are copied from the agricultural plot. In the case of partial occupancy or if the parcel is adjacent to the agricultural parcel, a new parcel is created. Class 3 is derived only from the layer of the anonymous agricultural parcel on the basis of the crop code entered in that layer. Each plot is represented in polygonal form and is described in relation to different administrative variables (commune, province), environmental variables (bioclimatic region, altitude) and cultural variables (nature of production). The data layer covers the entire Walloon territory. A periodic update is planned.
