Seventy-year chronology of Salinas in southern France: coastal surfaces managed for salt production

Description

kml files constructed for "Seventy-year chronology of Salinas in southern France: coastal surfaces managed for salt production and conservation issues for abandoned sites" For the years 1975, 2000, 2006, 2012, and 2018, topographical maps and aerial photographs were obtained the IGN web portals (Géoportail; Géoportail, section “remonter le temps”). Literature data and knowledge of the localisation of pumping stations and functioning of exploited Salinas obtained from expert interviews were used to re-itemise the functional pre-concentration ponds not included in CLC-class 4.2.2, as belonging to the Salinas. Polygons were created manually for these items and constituted an added class 4.2.2.A to distinguish these added surfaces from those recognised by Corine land-cover as 4.2.1 or 5.2.1. Both classes were systematically merged into a single shapefile for each Salina and the polygons obtained were checked against topographic maps and aerial photographs to verify if these represented the real coverage of the Salina and corrected if needed. Hence , the ensembles of the exploited Salinas in these 6 years were named as “Salinas_Mediterranean_France_xxxx.kml”, with xxxx as the year).
