ITE Land Classification of Great Britain 1990

The Land Classification 1990 is a classification of Great Britain into a set of 32 environmental strata, termed land classes, to be used as a basis for ecological survey, originally developed by the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE) in the late 1970s. The strata were created from the multivariate analysis of 75 environmental variables, including climatic data, topographic data, human geographical features and geology data. The Land Classification can be used to stratify a wide range of ecological and biogeographical surveys to improve the efficiency of collection, analysis and presentation of information derived from a sample. The Land Classification 1990 provided stratification the Countryside Survey of Great Britain 1990. The dataset was later modified in 1998 and 2007 for successive Countryside Surveys, both versions of which are also available.

《1990年土地利用分类》系对大不列颠进行的一种环境层分类，共分为32个环境层（称之為土地利用类别），旨在作为生态调查的基础，该分类最初由陆地生态研究所（Institute of Terrestrial Ecology，简称ITE）于20世纪70年代末开发。这些层通过75个环境变量的多元分析创建而成，包括气候数据、地形数据、人类地理特征和地质数据。土地利用分类可用于对广泛的生态和生物地理学调查进行分层，以提高从样本中收集、分析和展示信息的高效性。《1990年土地利用分类》为1990年英国乡村调查提供了分层依据。该数据集在1998年和2007年进行了修改，以适应后续的乡村调查，两个版本的分类数据均可用。关于此数据集的详细信息，请参阅https://doi.org/10.5285/ab320e08-faf5-48e1-9ec9-77a213d2907f。
