Small Woody Features 2021 (vector), Europe, 3-yearly, Oct. 2025

Small Woody 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. VHR_IMAGE_2021 made available in the ESA Copernicus DWH was the main data source for the detection of small woody features identifiable within the given image resolution. The Small Woody Features layer contains woody linear and patchy elements but will not be further differentiated into trees, hedges, bushes and scrub. The spatial pattern shall be limited to linear structures and isolated patches on the basis of geometric characteristics.

This product is a vector dataset distributed as OGC GeoPackage files, compliant with the EEA reference grid (100km x 100km).

小型木本地物（Small Woody Features）是生物多样性的重要载体，可提供生境破碎化相关数据，此类生境具备直接修复潜力，同时还可与灾害防护、绿色基础设施等领域建立关联。欧洲空间局（ESA）哥白尼数据仓库（Copernicus DWH）中发布的VHR_IMAGE_2021，是针对给定影像分辨率下可识别的小型木本地物开展识别工作的核心数据源。小型木本地物图层包含木本线状与斑块状要素，但不对其进一步区分为乔木、绿篱、灌丛与矮灌。其空间格局将基于几何特征限定为线状结构与孤立斑块。

本产品为矢量数据集，以OGC GeoPackage格式分发，符合欧洲环境局（EEA）100km×100km参考网格标准。
