WFS CORINE Land Cover 5 ha — Stand 2012

The download service of the CORINE Land Cover 5 ha (CLC5) dataset provides a description of the landscape in vector format under the nomenclature of the CLC classes, which, on the one hand, reflect land cover and also include aspects of land use. The basis for CLC5 2012 is the land cover models Germany 2012 (LBM-DE2012) and 2015 (LBM-DE2015) with their detailed breakdown in land cover (LB) and land use (LN) as well as information on the sealing (SIE) and vegetation (VEG) content at a minimum size of 1 ha. Unambiguous CLC classes are derived from the combinations of LB and LN taking into account SIE and VEG (“CLC2012”). This data is then generalised to a size of 5 ha.
