UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH): Land Cover Map 2015 (3rd Party Data)

Land Cover Map is a UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) spatial dataset, which NRW acquires under licence. NRW only has a segment of the data and not the whole of GB. This segment covers, the whole of Wales, cross border catchments and coastal areas around the Bristol Channel. The dataset is an update from the Land Cover Map 2007 (LCM2007).

Lineage

Land Cover Map 2015 (LCM2015) is a parcel-based land cover map for the UK, created by classifying satellite data into 21 land cover classes. The classes are based on the UK Biodiversity Action Plan Broad Habitat definitions. LCM2015 was created by classifying two-date composite images and is based mainly on data from Landsat-8 (30m resolution) supplemented with AWIFS data (60m resolution) as required. LCM2015 updates the 2007 Land Cover Map and uses an updated version of the LCM2007 spatial framework. LCM2015, like LCM2007 before it, is therefore constructed from polygons that reflect real-world boundaries. This increases both its ease of interpretation for users and also its compatibility with other geospatial data sets. The LCM2015 spatial framework was derived from generalised digital cartography (Ordnance Survey MasterMap topographic layer (OSMM) for GB and Land & Property Services Large-scale Vector for Northern Ireland), refined with rural payment boundary. Other differences in between the LCM2007 and LCM2015 datasets include the removal of Montane, Rough Grassland from the classifications.
