The Corine Land Cover datasets CLC2000, CLC2006 and CLC change 2000-2006 areproduced within the frame of the GMES land monitoring project. Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000 and 2006.CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe.Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Copernicus land monitoring data in general can be found at http://land.copernicus.eu/.

Land Cover (LC) is one of 12 themes in the European Location Project (ELF). The purpose of ELF is to create harmonised cross-border, cross-theme, and cross-resolution pan-European reference data from national contributions. The goal is to provide INSPIRE-compliant data for Europe. A description of ELF (European Location Project) is here: http://www.elfproject.eu/content/overview. Encoding: INSPIRE version 4

Corine Land Cover (CLC) 2018 and CLC change 2012-2018 are two of the datasets produced within the frame of the Initial Operations of the Copernicus programme (the European Earth monitoring programme previously known as GMES) on land monitoring.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000, 2006. 2012 and now 2018. CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe. Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing development in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.

Þekja (layer) n25v_votlendiLittRaskad_fl: Lítt raskað votlendi stærra en 20.000 fermetrar, meira en 200 m frá skurðum á láglendi. (Natural wetland, 20.000 square meters and larger, more than 200 metres away from ditches.) Gögnin sýna óraskað og lítt raskað votlendi. Á láglendi er dregin 200 m jaðarsvæði (buffer) umhverfis skurði. Votlendi, svo sem hallamýrar, flóar, flæðimýrar, rústamýrar, 20.000 fermetrar að flatarmáli eða stærri, njóta sérstakrar verndar samkvæmt 61 gr. í lögum um náttúruvernd. Náttúrufræðistofnun Íslands heldur skrá yfir þessi náttúrufyrirbæri og birtir í kortasjá sem jafnframt er viðauki við náttúruminjaskrá.

Gagnaset (data set) ni_vg25r_3utg: Vistgerðir á Íslandi: land (Habitat types of Iceland: terrestrial). Vistgerðakortið sýnir útbreiðslu landvistgerða á Íslandi. Alls hafa verið ákvarðaðar 64 vistgerðir á landi og skiptast í 12 meginflokka (vistlendi). Innan landvistgerða eru fjórar jarðhitavistgerðir sem finnast á háhita- og lághitasvæðum landsins. Landvistgerðum er skipt upp í tvö þrep. Við skilgreiningu og flokkun vistgerða á Íslandi var tekið mið af EUNIS-flokkunarkerfinu (European Environment Agency 2012) . Í 3. útgáfu vistgerðakortsins 2024 eru eingöngu landvistgerðir endurskoðaðar. Náttúrufræðistofnun Íslands leggur með ritinu Vistgerðir á Íslandi fram tillögur að flokkun vistgerða sem á sér fyrirmynd í samræmdri og viðurkenndri flokkun vistgerða í Evrópu. Flokkunin byggir á rannsóknum víða um land með fyrirvara um að bæta mætti í þá þekkingu. Athuga skal að aðgreining landvistgerða með fjarkönnun reyndist erfið, bæði fyrir lítið grónar vistgerðir sem og vel grónar, einkum innan vistlenda. Því má búast við verulegum skekkjum þótt þær séu mismiklar eftir vistgerðum. Nánari útlistun og mat á skekkjum má finna í aðferðalýsingu og á staðreyndasíðum vistgerða í ritinu „Vistgerðir á Íslandi“. Frekari upplýsingar um flokkun og skilgreiningu vistgerða má sjá í ritinu: Jón Gunnar Ottósson, Anna Sveinsdóttir og María Harðardóttir, ritstj. 2016. Vistgerðir á Íslandi.
