CORINE Land Cover - CLC

The standard CLC nomenclature includes 44 land cover classes. These are grouped in a three-level hierarchy. The five main (level 1) categories are: 1) artificial surfaces, 2) agricultural areas, 3) forests and semi-natural areas, 4) wetlands, and 5) water bodies (Heymann et al., 1994). At level 2 fifteen types of land cover were distinguished, which can be presented on the maps at scales from 1:500 000 to 1:1 000 000. At level 3, 44 land cover classes were distinguished. All national teams adopted this standard nomenclature. In Poland 31 classes out of 44 classes are present. Although the 44 categories have not changed since the implementation of the first CLC inventory (1986–1998), the definitions of most of the nomenclature elements have been improved.
