Share of surface area occupied by the rail network

Land cover is defined as ‘physical and biological coverage of the land area, including artificial surfaces, agricultural areas, forests, (semi-) natural areas, wetlands and water bodies’ (European INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC, 2007). The land cover therefore corresponds to what is covered by the land, what is found in it: a wood, a culture, a building, a public building. These are the biophysical characteristics of the soil. It must be distinguished from its use, which specifies the function or use of a type of occupation. Thus, land use that would be ‘herbaceous cover’ could correspond to several uses such as a residential garden or pasture. More information on this distinction “[\ 2] (\ 1)” This sheet concerns indicators which provide information on land cover based on airborne data for 2018, namely: Share of surface area occupied by artificial buildings above ground Share of surface area occupied by artificial floor covering Share of surface area occupied by the rail network Share of surface area occupied by bare soils Share of surface area occupied by surface water — Share of area occupied by a rotating herbaceous cover in the year — Share of area occupied by herbaceous cover all year round — Share of area occupied by Feuillus (> 3 m) — Share of area occupied by Feuillus (≤ 3 m) — Share of surface area occupied by Residents (> 3 m) — Share of surface area occupied by Residents (≤ 3 m) These indicators were produced from the land cover mapping carried out as part of the Wallonie Occupation and Use of Sol (WALOUS) research grant awarded by the Walloon Region to a consortium of two universities (UCLouvain, ULB) and a public UAP research centre (ISSeP). More information on the project “[\ 2] (\ 1)”土地覆盖被定义为‘陆地表面的物理与生物覆盖物，涵盖人工地表、农业用地、森林、（半）自然区域、湿地与水体’（引自欧盟《INSPIRE指令（European INSPIRE Directive）2007/2/EC》，2007年）。因此，土地覆盖对应陆地表面所覆盖、存在的各类事物：如林地、耕地、建筑物、公共建筑等，即土壤的生物物理属性。 需将土地覆盖与土地利用相区分：土地利用指某类覆盖的功能或用途。例如，‘草本覆盖’类土地覆盖可对应住宅花园、牧场等多种土地利用方式。有关该区分的更多信息见"[ 2] ( 1)"。 本数据集涉及基于2018年航空遥感数据生成的土地覆盖相关指标，具体包括： 地面以上人工建筑占地表总面积的比例 人工地坪覆盖物占地表总面积的比例 铁路网占地表总面积的比例 裸土占地表总面积的比例 地表水域占地表总面积的比例 — 年度轮作草本覆盖占区域面积的比例 — 全年草本覆盖占区域面积的比例 — 高度>3米的阔叶树（Feuillus）占区域面积的比例 — 高度≤3米的阔叶树（Feuillus）占区域面积的比例 — 高度>3米的Residents植被占区域面积的比例 — 高度≤3米的Residents植被占区域面积的比例 本批指标基于瓦隆大区（Walloon Region）资助的‘瓦隆地区土壤覆盖与利用（WALOUS）’研究项目所生成的土地覆盖制图成果制作而成，该项目由瓦隆大区向由两所大学（UCLouvain、ULB）以及一家公共UAP研究中心（ISSeP）组成的联合体拨款支持。 有关该项目的更多信息见"[ 2] ( 1)"
