1. LC/LU statistical tables from available data
Proposal for harmonised national data collection
(WG LC/LU )

2. Generic Statistical Business Process Model

3. Generic Statistical Business Process Model

4. Statistical tables on land cover/use
- Best available existing data
- Separate tables
One for land cover
One for land use
- Relatively high aggregation
- Compatible with other classifications (FAO, NACE, INSPIRE…)
- At NUTS3 level (the minimum mapping unit should be 0.25 ha as ref. scale is 1: )
- At 3 year intervals

5. Code Harmonization Project
From the LUCAS Survey, the combination of LCxLU can be derived
For the statistical tables, only totals per LC or per LU are requested

7. Land cover

8. Land Cover Code Class name A Artificial land B Cropland C Wooded land
Shrubland E
Grassland F
Bareland, lichens, glaciers and permanent snow G
Inland waters H
Wetland L
Land area (NUTS definition) = A+B+C+D+E+F+H T
Total area (NUTS definition)=Land (L) + Inland waters (G)

9. A – Artificial land
- Fine tuning needed in allocation of sealed vs. unsealed infrastructure to either A (artificial) or F (bare)
- Compatibility with
Copernicus High Resolution layers (HRL)
Urban Atlas

10. Land Cover – Artificial land
Code
Class name A
Artificial land
A10
Roofed built-up areas
A20
Artificial non-built up areas
A30
Other built-up areas

11. B - Cropland - Reuse data
- Data is to be obtained from the Annual Crop Statistics (ACS) and Farm Structure Survey (FSS)
- Attention to be taken on the treatment of differences to land area and total area, as crop statistics cover only for utilized agricultural area (UAA)
- Permanent grassland not part of UAA (J0000) expected to be collected under E
- Fine tuning needed on how to deal with areas temporarily bare with agricultural use (e.g. part of a rotation)

12. Land Cover – Cropland Code Class name B Cropland [Detailed classes]B
Cropland
[Detailed classes]
Data available at ESTAT. Details to be collected by Eurostat Annual Crop Statistics and Farm Structure Survey
Other land with crops
Covers for differences in areas not under ACS or FSS

13. ! C – Wooded land - Reuse data
- Data is to be obtained from Forest Statistics
- Use FAO definitions(1) > AT! As different MMU applies
- Other wooded land in FAO corresponds to LUCAS definitions of shrubland and grassland with trees
- Positive indication on existence of detailed data was given in the Forest Working Group of
OK for disaggregation into broadleaved/coniferous/mixed
OK for data at NUTS3 level
But problems with 3 year intervals
(1)

14. Land Cover – Wooded land
Code
Class name C
Wooded land = CF + COLT + CnF + COLTnF
Details to be collected by Eurostat Forest Statistics CF
Forest (FAO)
Available at ESTAT. FAO definition (area >0.5 ha, use forestry)

of which Broadleaved forest (FAO)
Not available at ESTAT
CF20

COLT
Other land with tree cover (FAO)
Not available at ESTAT, but part of FAO reporting. FAO definition (area >0.5 ha, with LU not forestry)
CnF
Forest (non FAO)
Covers for differences in areas not under FAO definition ( )
COLTnF
Other land with tree cover (non FAO)

15. D – Shrubland
- Areas covered with more than 10% shrubs that do not belong to A, B nor C classes
- Note compatibility with FAO as Other Wooded Land includes areas "with shrubs and no trees" and "areas with tree cover of 5-10%"
- Grants results support the aggregation of D10+D20 as these seem to be difficult to collect

16. Land Cover – Shrubland Code Class name DD
Shrubland = OWLF + OWLnF (-GwT if available) + OWLnF
Some details to be collected by Eurostat Forest Statistics (Other wooded land)
OWLF
Other wooded land (FAO)
Available at ESTAT. Corresponds partly to LUCAS shrubland and LUCAS grassland with trees S

OSwT
OGwT

17. E – Grassland
- Areas covered with more than 10% herbaceous vegetation that do not belong to A, B, C nor D classes
- "grassland with trees" (5-10% tree cover) is part of Other Wooded Land (FAO) which is collected under D

18. Land Cover – Grassland Code Class name E GrasslandE
Grassland
Some details to be collected by Eurosatat Annual Crop Statistics or Farm Structure Survey
of which Permanent grassland (J0000)
Collected from ACS or FSS

19. F – Bareland, lichens, glaciers and permanent snow!
F – Bareland, lichens, glaciers and permanent snow
- Areas covered with less than 10% vegetation cover and that do not belong to A, B, C, D nor E classes
- Bare agricultural areas probably better placed under B
- For compatibility with FAO and INSPIRE this class has to be disaggregated

20. Land Cover – Bareland Code Class name FF
Bareland, lichens, glaciers and permanent snow
F10
Rocks and Stones
INSPIRE and FAO consolidated bare
F20
Sand
INSPIRE and FAO unconsolidated bare
F30
Lichens and Moss
FAO primarily vegetated areas
F50
Glaciers and permanent snow

21. G – Inland Waters
- Always excluding the transitional water areas (not part of the NUTS definition): estuaries and lagoons

22. Land Cover – Inland waters
Code
Class name G
Inland waters
Excludes transitional waters
G10
Inland water bodies
G20
Inland running water

23. ! H – Wetland - Keeping compatibility with FAO
- In LUCAS "wet forest" is part of C,
- In LUCAS "wet shrubland" is part of D…
- Drop H – Wetland and instead collect under the respective vegetation section? Or…?
