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)

The Copernicus component is governed by Regulation (EU) No 2021/696 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing the Union Space Programme and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme and repealing Regulations (EU) No 912/2010, (EU) No 1285/2013 and (EU) No 377/2014 and Decision No 541/2014/EU. 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.

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.
