Summary

CORINE land cover is a European land use/land cover mapping project. In Denmark, land use/land cover has been mapped three times according to the CORINE methodology, with satellite images from the early 1990s (CLC90), from 2000 (CL2000) and from 2006 (CLC2006). This report describes the CLC2006 mapping, the applied methodology and the obtained results. The CLC2000 project was primarily an update of the land cover map, where the delineation of areas was updated if more than 5 ha of changes were identified. With the CLC2006 mapping the focus has shifted towards mapping changes. All changes in land cover above the threshold of 5 ha have been mapped (CLC-change2006). The CORINE land cover map for 2006 (CLC2006) was produced as a secondary product.
