Description

The land use management classes developed as part of the LAMASUS project have been aggregated to a 1 km grid (INSPIRE) provided as three geopackages and NUTS2 regions, provided as shares in each grid cell and number of pixels in each region, respectively. The NUTS2 data can be joined to the NUTS2 shapefile (contained in NUTS0_2016_01M_3035_corrected.zip, including all NUTS levels), which is provided here as some corrections to the NUTS layer have been made. A list of the land use management classes is provided in the excel file. Note that these aggregated files are consistent with official statistics from the Forest Resources Assessment of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FRA-FAO) for forest areas and Eurostat for cropland and grassland areas. 

This dataset has been created as part of LAMASUS Project under the scope of Deliverable 2.1 titled "The LUM Geodatabase and Area Estimates of Land Use Change to 2018 ". The data is directly linked to the work described on pages 12-34, belonging to section 3. The Land Use Management (LUM) Geodatabase. The full text of the deliverable can be accessed via: https://www.lamasus.eu/wp-content/uploads/LAMASUS_D2.1_LUMGeodatabase.pdf.

This version 3 update includes improvements to the cropland management classes to take irrigation (from WorldCereal) and temporary grassland (from Copernicus VLCC) into account, improvements to information on wetlands by incorporating data from the European Wetland Map (https://zenodo.org/records/15302184) and the splitting of grassland management classes into mowing and non-mowing using data form Copernicus VLCC. These updates are described in a deliverable (D2.4), which can be found on the lamasus.eu website.
