Small Woody Features Density 2021 (raster 100 m), Europe, 3-yearly, Sep 2025

Small woody landscape features are important vectors of biodiversity and provide information on fragmentation of habitats with a direct potential for restoration while also providing a link to hazard protection and green infrastructure, amongst others. Optical VHR coverage over Europe 2021 was made available in the ESA Copernicus DWH and, together with Sentinel 2 was the main data source for the detection of small woody features identifiable within the given image resolution. The Small Woody Feature Density 2021 with a 100m pixel resolution is derived from a pixel aggregation of the binary Small Woody Feature 2021 (10m) status layer. The production of the HRL Imperviousness is coordinated by EEA in the frame of Copernicus, the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space programme.

The product is a raster dataset with 100-meter grid spacing (spatial resolution), distributed as a single raster file with European extent.
