2 What is land cover? The definition of land cover is fundamental, because in many existing classifications and legends it is confused with land use: Land cover is the observed (bio)physical cover on the earth s surface. When considering land cover in a very pure and strict sense, it should be confined to the description of vegetation and man-made features. Consequently, areas where the surface consists of bare soil are land itself rather than land cover. Also, it is disputable whether water surfaces are real land cover. However, in practice, the scientific community usually includes these features within the term land cover. after Antonio Di Gregorio
3 What is land use? Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce, change or maintain it. Definition of land use in this way establishes a direct link between land cover and the actions of people in their environment. The following examples are a further illustration of the above definitions: grassland is a cover term, while rangeland or tennis court refer to the use of a grass cover; and recreation area is a land use term that may be applicable to different land cover types: for instance sandy surfaces, like a beach; a built-up area like a pleasure park; woodlands; etc. after Antonio Di Gregorio
4 Growing interest for global land cover mapping Earth Science and Climate Change Carbon cycle Water and energy fluxes Climate and Ecosystem modelling International Conventions, such as: UN FCCC UN CBD UN CCD International environmental and security programmes, such as: Millennium Assessment FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment Global crop monitoring for food security
5 Main Earth observation sensors for global land cover mapping NOAA-AVHRR spatial resolution - 1 km 5 spectral bands SPOT-Vegetation spatial resolution 1 km 4 spectral bands Terra/Aqua-MODIS spatial resolution 0.25 km / 0.5 km / 1 km 36 spectral bands Envisat-MERIS spatial resolution 0.3 km 15 spectral bands
6 Existing global land cover products A constant but not really cumulative effort AVHRR, 1 resolution, 1994 AVHRR, 8 km, 1998 IGBP-DIS, AVHRR, 1 km, 2000 GLC-2000, VEGETATION, 1 km, 2002, 22 classes MODIS, 1 km, 2002, 17 classes Vegetation Continuous Fields, 1 km, 2002 Forthcoming : a 300-m global LC map for 2005 from 15-band FRS MERIS time series After Pierre Defourny
7 The IGBP Programme has coordinated the development of global land data sets from AVHRR data. The first 1 km spatial resolution land cover product is based on monthly Normalized Difference Vegetation Index composites from 1992 and The map legend contains 17 classes. Mapping method involved unsupervised classification with post-classification refinement using ancillary data.
8 historical reference: IGBP 1km Land Cover product Heavy data preparation process Fixed legend with limited number of classes Homogeneous classification procedure Statistically-based validation procedure
