Presentation
In April 2018, the Land Cover SEC has published a second Land Cover Map for mainland France. It was automatically produced using Sentinel-2 data from late 2015 to late 2016 and Landsat-8 data. It proposes an actualization of the first land cover map for mainland France produced in march 2017 using Sentinel-2 data from late 2015 to late 2016 and Landsat-8 data.
The 2017 and the 2016 Land Cover Maps use both a 10-m resolution and a nomenclature of 17 classes:
- annual summer crops: 11
- annual winter crops: 12
- broad-leaved forest: 31
- coniferous forest: 32
- natural grasslands: 34
- woody moorlands: 36
- continuous urban fabric : 41
- discontinuous urban fabric: 42
- industial and commercial units: 43
- road surfaces: 44
- bare rock: 45
- beaches, dunes and sand plains: 46
- water bodies: 51
- glaciers and perpetual snow: 53
- intensive grasslands: 211
- orchard: 221
- vineyards: 222
The land cover maps produced annually will be provided by Theia.
