Corine land cover changes between 2006 and 2012 for the UK, Jersey and Guernsey

This dataset for the UK, Jersey and Guernsey contains the Corine Land Cover (CLC) changes between 2006 and 2012. This shapefile has been created by combining the land cover change layers from the individual CLC database files for the UK, Jersey and Guernsey. CLC is a dataset produced within the frame of the Initial Operations of the Copernicus programme (the European Earth monitoring programme previously known as GMES) on land monitoring. CLC provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (initial reference year 1990) and then established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000 and 2006 with the last one being for the 2012 reference year. CLC products are based on the analysis 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 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 information 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.

本数据集涵盖英国、泽西岛及根西岛地区，记录了2006年至2012年间的Copernicus陆地覆盖（CLC）变化情况。该形状文件系通过整合英国、泽西岛及根西岛各自CLC数据库文件中的土地覆盖变化层而构建。CLC数据集系在Copernicus项目（欧洲地球监测计划，原名GMES）的初期运行框架下产生，旨在监测陆地状况。CLC提供了关于欧洲陆地覆盖及其变化的连贯信息。该数据库始于1985年（初始参考年为1990年），随后建立了时间序列的陆地覆盖信息，并在2000年、2006年进行了更新，最后一次更新针对的是2012年的参考年。CLC产品基于参与国家（包括欧洲环境署成员国及合作国家）的国家团队对卫星图像的分析，遵循标准的方法和命名法，以下为基础参数：- 在三级层次化的Corine命名法中，包含44个类别；- 土地覆盖变化（LCC）层的最小制图单元（MMU）为5公顷。由此生成的国家土地覆盖清单进一步整合为欧洲无缝土地覆盖图。陆地覆盖及土地利用（LCLU）信息不仅对土地变化研究至关重要，而且在更广泛的范围内，对于环境变化的监测、政策支持、环境指标的创建及报告等方面亦发挥着重要作用。CLC数据集提供了支持欧盟环境行动计划关键优先领域实施的重要信息，包括保护生态系统、阻止生物多样性的丧失、跟踪气候变化的影响、评估农业发展以及实施欧盟水框架指令等。关于此数据集的详细信息，请参阅https://doi.org/10.5285/35fecd0f-b466-448b-94d1-0bba90be450e。
