Developing a high-resolution land use/land cover map by upgrading CORINE’s agricultural components using detailed national and pan-European datasets

The agricultural uses of the Coordination Information on Environment Land Cover (CLC) dataset suffer from limitations such as temporal stationarity, low spatial resolution, broad and rather simplified grouping classes. study attempts to address these shortcomings, using test site Sperchios River catchment, Central Greece. Greek ‘branch’ Parcel Identification System, Beneficiaries’ Declarations (BD) CLC inventories were utilized develop hybrid layers, deriving their harmonization, sequential incorporation progressive update (BD → BD-ilot BD-ilot-CLC). final layer constitutes new object-oriented Use/Land map. Remote sensing data (Sentinel-2) was used validate accuracy BD, subject most frequent errors. map retains key advantages yet is now characterized by highly detailed resolution explicit description different cultivated farmlands included.
