UKCEH Land Cover Plus: Hedgerows 2016-2021 (England)

Description

This dataset contains a model of the extent and height class of woody linear features on field boundaries in England, including hedgerows, tree lines and semi-natural thickets of shrubs and trees. The model was derived from processing of the Environment Agency lidar product (National Lidar Programme), captured in 2016-2021, and the linework is consistent with the polygon boundaries used in the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) Land Cover Map (LCM). Due to expected low densities of woody linear features, and potential uncertainty, areas excluded from the coverage include LCM classes of mountain/moor/heath, open water and the coastal zone, urban/suburban areas and woodlands (i.e., areas of continuous non-linear woody cover). An area of approximately 24 x 25 km on the North Yorkshire Moors was also excluded from the model, as this area was not mapped by the EA lidar.
