CORINE Land Cover Iceland 2000 (CLC)

The Corine Land Cover datasets CLC2000, CLC2006and CLC change 2000-2006areproduced within the frame of the GMES land monitoringproject.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/.科里内土地覆盖（Corine Land Cover，以下简称CLC）数据集包含CLC2000、CLC2006以及2000-2006年土地覆盖变化数据集，均在全球环境与安全监测（GMES）土地监测项目框架下产出。科里内土地覆盖（CLC）可为欧洲全境提供统一规范的土地覆盖及土地覆盖变化相关信息。该土地覆盖调查始于1985年（基准年为1990年），并建立了土地覆盖信息时间序列，分别于2000年和2006年完成更新。 CLC产品由参与国（欧洲环境署（European Environment Agency, EEA）成员国及合作国）的国家级团队依照标准方法与命名规范，通过卫星影像目视解译生成，其核心基础参数如下：采用三级层级化科里内命名体系，共计44个分类类别；现状图层的最小制图单元（minimum mapping unit, MMU）为25公顷；线性要素的最小宽度为100米；变化图层的土地覆盖变化（Land Cover Changes, LCC）最小制图单元为5公顷。最终生成的各国土地覆盖调查清单将进一步整合为一套无缝衔接的欧洲全域土地覆盖地图。 土地覆盖与土地利用（Land Cover and Land Use, LCLU）信息不仅是土地变化研究的核心数据，更广泛应用于环境变化监测、政策支撑、环境指标构建与报告编制等诸多领域。CLC数据集可为欧盟环境行动计划的多项核心优先领域提供关键数据支撑，涵盖生态系统保护、遏制生物多样性丧失、追踪气候变化影响、评估农业发展态势以及执行欧盟水框架指令（EU Water Framework Directive）等诸多方面。如需了解科里内土地覆盖（CLC）及哥白尼土地监测数据的更多详情，可访问http://land.copernicus.eu/。
