This grassy and non-woody vegetation baseline product includes all kinds of grasslands: managed grassland, semi-natural grassland and natural grassy vegetation. It is a binary status layer for the 2015 reference year mapping grassland and all non-grassland areas in 20m and (aggregated) 100m pixel size and for the 2018 reference year - in 10m and (aggregated) 100m pixel size. The production of the high resolution grassland layers was coordinated by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.

Within the Copernicus component, a portfolio of land monitoring activities has been delegated by the European Union to the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the DG Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. The Copernicus land monitoring products and services are made available on a principle of full, open and free access, as established by the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. Free, full and open access to the products and services of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service is made on the conditions that: 1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services (data, software scripts, web services, user and methodological documentation and similar) to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of these products and services. 2. Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this. 3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union. grid 100 utf8 environment imageryBaseMapsEarthCover 2014-01-01 2016-12-31 -31.2684 -13.4198 27.6375 66.5662 -10.6198 44.8212 34.5619 71.1855 GeoTIFF 1.0 https://image.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/GioLandPublic/HRL_Grassland_2015/MapServer ESRI:REST https://image.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/GioLandPublic/HRL_Grassland_2015/MapServer https://image.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/services/GioLandPublic/HRL_Grassland_2015/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS OGC:WMS 0 HRL_Grassland_2015 https://doi.org/10.2909/b77b7ce3-04f8-44ae-aaae-b5e5af0f9682 DOI https://doi.org/10.2909/b77b7ce3-04f8-44ae-aaae-b5e5af0f9682 https://land.copernicus.eu/en/products/high-resolution-layer-grassland/grassland-2015#download WWW:DOWNLOAD CLMS Website Download (requires authentication) https://land.copernicus.eu/en/products/high-resolution-layer-grasslands WWW:LINK Product Information & Technical Documentation Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 publication See the referenced specification Thematic accuracy: The thematic accuracy assessment will be made on the primary layer, the grassland mask. The target will be set at 85 % to be achieved within each biogeographic region. A quantitative approach will be used based on a set of stratified random point samples compared to external datasets (e.g. GoogleEarth, national orthophotos or national grassland datasets). Achieved overall accuracy: 96.66%. Geometric accuracy (positioning accuracy): Less than half a pixel. According to ortho-rectified satellite image base delivered by ESA.
