shapefiles for different vegetated areas around mt Etna volcano, SIcily, Italy

Description

Based on high resolution satellite images (Sentinel satellite through Copernicus browser) I have identified the vegetated areas on the flanks of Mt Etna volcano (Italy) within 15 km from the summit. I have characterized the vegetated areas into 3 different categories (shapefiles are given separately for each one of them):

  • woodland areas: they are characterized by continuous and thick vegetation, composed of tall trunks and shrubs
  • bush areas: sparse vegetation including shrubs and Mediterranean scrub
  • cultivated areas: orchards and vineyards.
