Broadleaved Cover Density 2018 - Present (raster 100m), Europe, yearly, Nov. 2024

The High Resolution Layer Broadleaved Density (BCD) dataset provides information on the percentage of broadleaved pixels at 100m spatial resolution, and is derived through aggregation of the 10m DLT for the respective reference year. Within each cell the number of broadleaved pixels are counted and the percentages stored into in the 100m pixel of the BCD. The class 255 = outside area is predefined by the 100m boundary layer and remains unchanged.

This dataset is provided annually starting with 2018 in 100 meter rasters (fully conformant with the EEA reference grid) in 100 x 100 km tiles covering the EEA38 countries.

High Resolution Layer Tree Cover and Forest product is part of the European Union’s Copernicus Land Monitoring Service.

This dataset includes data from the French Overseas Territories (DOMs)

Access to data is based on a principle of full, open and free access as established by the Copernicus data and information policy Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. This regulation establishes registration and licensing conditions for GMES/Copernicus users.

Free, full and open access to this data set is made on the conditions that:

1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus dedicated data and Copernicus service information to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of that data and information.

2. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the Union.

3. Where that data or information has been adapted or modified, the user shall clearly state this.

4. The data remain the sole property of the European Union. Any information and data produced in the framework of the action shall be the sole property of the European Union. Any communication and publication by the beneficiary shall acknowledge that the data were produced “with funding by the European Union”.

Statement

Broadleaved Cover Denisity (BCD) is derived through aggregation of the 10m Dominant Leaf Type pixels for the respective reference year overlaid by the 100m grid (either LAEA or UTM) and within each cell the number of broadleaved pixels arecounted and the percentages stored into in the 100m pixel of the BCD. The class 255 = outside areais predefined by the 100m boundary layer and remains unchanged.

This dataset is a continuation of the HRL Broadleaved Cover Density timeseries, previously generated on a 3-year update cycle since 2015. The models and input data used to generate the product have evolved and therefore higher quality is to be expected as the timeseries progress.

Quality assurance follows the ISO9000 standards for Quality Management and comprises of dedicated procedures of ongoing quality checks (QA breakpoints) during implementation of the production chain, in order to keep persistent control over the various stages of production, assure fitness-for-purpose of the end-products and that all quality requirements are fulfilled. Priority has been given to the target thematic accuracies to be achieved by each product, as well as to the issues of product consistency (spatial, thematic, temporal) and homogeneity. Quality Assessment: The quality assessment has been performed according to INSPIRE Data Specifications. The data quality elements considered are:

(i) Completeness,

(ii) Logical Consistency,

(iii) Thematic Accuracy,

(iv) Temporal quality and

(v) Usability.

Each of them (excl. the Thematic Accuracy hereafter) forms a section in the QA/QC Procedures.
