Riparian zones represent transitional areas occurring between land and freshwater ecosystems, characterised by distinctive hydrology, soil and biotic conditions and strongly influenced by the stream water. They provide a wide range of riparian functions (e.g. chemical filtration, flood control, bank stabilization, aquatic life and riparian wildlife support, etc.) and ecosystem services. The Riparian Zones products support the objectives of several European legal acts and policy initiatives, such as the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, the Habitats and Birds Directives and the Water Framework Directive. Green Linear Elements (GLE) are ecologically significant, structural landscape elements which act as important dispersion vectors of biodiversity. GLEs comprise hedgerows and lines of trees and offer a wide range of ecosystem services: they are linked to both landscape richness and fragmentation of habitats, with a direct potential for restoration, and contribute also to hazard protection. Green linear elements form part of the Green Infrastructure and are specifically addressed in the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2020. The GLE product provides reliable and detailed geospatial information on the occurrence and spatial distribution of: Small linear vegetation features such as hedgerows, scrub and tree rows with a minimum length of 100m and a width of up to 10m; Isolated patches of trees and scrub with a size between 500 m² and 0.5 ha. Green linear elements including trees and hedgerows with 100m minimum length and 500 m² Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU)

Í gögnunum er að finna upplýsingar um staðsetningu og umfang friðlýstra minjasvæða á Íslandi sem Minjastofnun Íslands hefur friðlýst í samræmi við lög nr. 80/2012 um menningarminjar.

The European Urban Atlas provides reliable, inter-comparable, high-resolution land use and land cover data for 800 Functional Urban Area (FUA) for the 2012 reference year in EEA39 countries. The spatial data can be downloaded together with a map for each FUA covered and a report with the metadata for the respective area. Additional information (product description, mapping guidance and class description) can be found here: https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/urban-atlas-2012-mapping-guide-new Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme, with the support of the European Space Agency and the European Environment Agency.

Ræktunarsvæði er afmarkað svæði sjávar nægjanlega stórt til að rúma þann ræktunarbúnað sem notaður er á viðkomandi svæði. Yfirleitt er um að ræða línur sem strekktar eru á milli flot bauja eða sérstaka ræktunarfleka með lóðréttar ræktunarlínur fáeina metra niður undir yfirborð sjávar . Svæðið er merkt með löglegum sjómerkjum þannig að sjófarendur eiga að geta varast þau, enda einnig merkt inn sjókort Landhelgisgæslunnar. Einungis er ræktuð Bláskel (Kræklingur).

Gögnin sýna svæði þar sem rjúpnaveiði er óheimil allt árið um kring.

Árlega eru felld um 1.500 hreindýr á Íslandi til að stjórna stofnstærð. Hver fellipunktur er skráður í kerfi Umhverfisstofnunar.

The Urban Atlas provides pan-European comparable land use and land cover data for Functional Urban Areas (FUA). The Street Tree Layer (STL) is a separate layer from the Urban Atlas 2012 LU/LC layer produced within the level 1 urban mask for each FUA. It includes contiguous rows or a patches of trees covering 500 m² or more and with a minimum width of 10 meter over "Artificial surfaces" (nomenclature class 1) inside FUA (i.e. rows of trees along the road network outside urban areas or forest adjacent to urban areas should not be included). Urban Atlas is a joint initiative of the European Commission Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy and the Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme, with the support of the European Space Agency and the European Environment Agency.

Þekjan sýnir raforkudreifisvæði fyrir dreififyrirtæki landsins: Veitur, Orkubú Vestfjarða, HS Veitur, Norðurorka og RARIK. Hjá Orkubú Vestfjarða og RARIK er svæðunum einnig skipt upp í dreifbýli, þéttbýli og byggðarkjarna sem endurspeglar skiptingu í gjaldskrá hjá þessum fyrirtækjum.

Gögnin veita upplýsingar um stærð, staðsetningu og tegundir náttúruverndarsvæða á Íslandí samræmi við lög nr.60/2013 um náttúruvernd. The data provides information about location, size and types of nature conservation areas in Iceland according to the nature conservation act nr. 60/2013.
