How many trees will there be in 2050?
By 2050, some small and middle economy countries may have less than 1% of forest cover. In terms of numbers, the world total may fall to around 2 trillion trees – which may seem adequate, but it’s a big reason to worry for future generations.
Which is a dataset produced by the Corine Land cover programme?
Service Description: CLC2018 is one of the datasets produced within the frame the Corine Land Cover programme referring to land cover / land use status of year 2018.
When did the Corine Land cover inventory start?
CHA 2012-2018. The CORINE Land Cover (CLC) inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990). Updates have been produced in 2000, 2006, 2012, and 2018. It consists of an inventory of land cover in 44 classes. CLC uses a Minimum Mapping Unit (MMU) of 25 hectares (ha) for areal phenomena and a minimum width of 100 m for linear phenomena.
Is the Corine Land monitoring service funded by Copernicus?
The 2018 version also funded by Copernicus was produced in less than 1 year. CLC has a wide variety of applications, underpinning various Community policies in the domains of environment, but also agriculture, transport, spatial planning etc.
Which is the National Reference Centre for land cover?
The Eionet network National Reference Centres Land Cover (NRC/LC) is producing the national CLC databases, which are coordinated and integrated by EEA. CLC is produced by the majority of countries by visual interpretation of high resolution satellite imagery.
