Copernicus
The Global Dynamic Land Cover product offers annual global land cover maps and cover fraction layers, providing a detailed view of land cover at three classification levels. It uses modern data analysis techniques to ensure temporal consistency and accuracy, with the latest version achieving 80% accuracy at class level 1 on each continent. The product also includes continuous field layers, or "fraction maps", that provide proportional estimates for vegetation and ground cover for the land cover types. These features make it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications, including forest monitoring, rangeland management, crop monitoring, biodiversity conservation, climate modelling, and urban planning.
